To convert a ratio to percentage, divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100 and add the percent sign. Example 1: There are 20 students in a classroom. 9 of the students are girls.
Categories of restraints. Three general categories of restraints existâphysical restraint, chemical restraint, and seclusion. Physical restraint. Physical restraint, the most frequently used type, is a specific. intervention or device that prevents the patient from moving freely or restricts normal access to the patientâs own body.
