Pennsylvania Code (Last Updated: April 5, 2016) |
Title 55. PUBLIC WELFARE |
PART I. Department of Human Services |
Subpart B. Rights |
Chapter 14. Abuse of Patients/Residents |
Section 14.6. Patient/resident discipline
Latest version.
-
This chapter in no way prohibits the concept of discipline, thoughtfully and properly applied for a patient/resident. An approved form of discipline described, planned and documented in the treatment programs, such as those outlined in therapy programs and behavior shaping programs, is not considered abuse. Self-discipline is a necessary skill that people must learn, and is one which responsible employes cannot ignore.
