What is the key difference between routine observation and continuous observation?
Routine observation involves visual observation every 30 minutes, while continuous observation requires visual observation at all times.
What distinguishes one-to-one observation from continuous observation?
One-to-one observation involves at least one staff in close proximity to prevent unsafe actions, while continuous observation requires visual observation at all times.
Why is continuous observation considered 'special observation'?
Because it involves increased levels of monitoring, restrictiveness, and documentation.
In what scenarios can continuous observation be modified to require hearing instead of visual monitoring?
During bathing, toileting, or similar activities where privacy is a concern.
Which type of observation involves a staff member being in such close proximity as to be able to intervene if needed?
One-to-one observation

Because it involves increased restrictiveness and monitoring.
In which situations can continuous observation be modified to require only hearing instead of visual monitoring?
During bathing or toileting activities where privacy is a concern.
What distinguishes one-to-one observation from continuous observation?
One-to-one observation involves a staff member in close proximity to intervene, while continuous observation requires no intervention.
Which type of special observation involves knowledge and awareness of the individual's whereabouts at all times?
