How long can a resident be confined under the physician's order?

24 hours
48 hours
72 hours
96 hours

The correct answer is: 72 hours

A resident can usually be confined under a physician's order for up to 72 hours. This is because it is generally recommended that a person be medically evaluated after being restrained for 72 hours to determine if the confinement is still necessary for their safety and well-being. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest shorter or longer time frames, which may not be in line with best practices for the safety and care of the resident.
