Which term refers to a temporary restraining device?

• A. Grappling
• B. Fullthickness burn
• C. Good Samaritan Law
• D. Handcuff

Answer: (D)

A temporary restraining device is a tool used to immobilize someone briefly during detention or transport. The term that fits this description is handcuffs. Handcuffs are worn around the wrists and linked together to limit movement, allowing an officer to control a person safely while they are under custody. They’re designed for quick application and removal, suitable for short-term use.

Grappling refers to a wrestling-style technique used to control or take someone to the ground, not a device. A full-thickness burn is a severe skin injury, unrelated to restraining tools. Good Samaritan Law is a legal protection for people who help others, not a physical restraint device.
