Physical and chemical restraints can only be used in a nursing home if they are ordered by a physician and deemed necessary to prevent injury. B is incorrect because restraints should not be used solely for residents with mental disorders. C may imply that restraints need approval beforehand, which is not always the case. D is incorrect because restraints should not be used as a first response during emergencies, as non-restraint methods should be attempted first. Therefore, A is the best answer as it provides the appropriate context for the use of physical and chemical restraints in a nursing home setting.
