T

• "Seclusion means "the enforced isolation of a patient by day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. by the closing by any means whatsoever of the door of the room in which the patient is". The term "seclusion" does not apply to patients who are locked up in their rooms at night, as all patients sleeping in single rooms are locked up.
