The correct answer is: Restraint

The correct answer is "Restraint." This term specifically refers to a protective device used in healthcare settings to restrict or limit a patient's movement. Restraints are often used to ensure the safety of both the patient and healthcare providers, particularly in situations where a patient may pose a risk to themselves or others. Understanding the context of the other terms is essential: "Resuscitation" pertains to life-saving measures taken to revive someone who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped. "Responsibility" relates to the duties and obligations caregivers have towards their patients. "Rights" refers to the entitlements or privileges that patients have, ensuring their dignity and autonomy within the healthcare system.
