How long can the use of physical or chemical restraint or isolation be continued without personal examination and reauthorization?

  1. 6 hours

  2. 12 hours

  3. 24 hours

  4. 36 hours

The correct answer is: 12 hours

The use of physical or chemical restraint or isolation should not be continued for longer than 12 hours without personal examination and reauthorization. This is because prolonged use of restraints or isolation can have negative physical and psychological effects on the person, and it is important for their well-being and safety to be regularly assessed by a medical professional. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they all exceed the recommended 12-hour time limit. It is important to adhere to this time limit in order to prioritize the individual's health and autonomy.
