You have morbidly obese women and homosexual leadership in this school district.
What type of end result could that produce for your kid?
It will create psychological freak shows...
All the more reason for them to keep kids on chemical restraints.
Chemical restraint is the use of a drug or medication (such as a sedative or antipsychotic) primarily to manage a patient's behavior, restrict their freedom of movement, or impair their ability to interact with their surroundings, when it is not a standard treatment or dosage for the patient's diagnosed medical or psychiatric condition.
Key Aspects
- Intention is Key: The defining factor of a chemical restraint is the intent of the administration. Medication used to treat an underlying diagnosed condition (e.g., therapeutic doses of antipsychotics for schizophrenia, anti-anxiety medicine for a panic attack, or pain medication for pain management) is considered treatment, not a chemical restraint.
- Purpose: Chemical restraints are used to control acute or episodic aggressive, violent, or self-harming behavior, typically after less restrictive measures (like verbal de-escalation) have failed, to ensure the physical safety of the patient, staff, or others.
- Legality and Regulation: In many contexts, such as nursing homes and long-term care facilities, federal and state laws strictly prohibit the use of chemical restraints for staff convenience, discipline, or non-medical reasons. Their use is highly regulated and generally requires a physician's written order that specifies the duration and circumstances, or is applied in an emergency situation with immediate follow-up by a medical professional.
- Common Medications: Medications frequently used in these situations include antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol, risperidone, olanzapine) and benzodiazepines (e.g., lorazepam, midazolam).
- Risks: The use of chemical restraints carries significant risks, especially in the elderly, and can lead to adverse effects such as decreased cognitive function, falls, respiratory depression, stroke, and even death. Many antipsychotic drugs carry a "black box warning" from the FDA regarding increased mortality risk for older adults with dementia.
- Patient Rights: Patients and their representatives have the right to informed consent and the right to refuse medication. Misuse of chemical restraints is considered a form of abuse and can lead to legal action.
