The correct answer is that "one must restrain the patient with appropriate and comfortable force in order to treat his injuries."

If one does not restrain the patient properly, his psychotic episodes might strike him at anytime that may result to harm or his odd behavior wherein he screams and throw objects at random people. restraining him may protect you and the people around you as well.
