- If it's not already open, click on the Risks, Assessments & Plans tab.
- Scroll down to the Restrictive Practices list.
- Click on the Restrictive Practice ID text link for the relevant restrictive practice with a record type of PRN.
- This will open the restrictive practice (RP) record showing details of the PRN restrictive practice currently in place.
- Scroll down to the Restrictive Practice Usage section.
- Click on the drop-down arrow.
