"Your behavior is not safe for you and everyone else. If you are not able to show safe behavior, we will need to give you injected meds and place you in restraints until you are able to safely regain control of your actions.
This is to keep you safe. You are not being punished. You are not in jail. Once you are able to be safe again we will get you out of these restraints."
Less words if less decisional capacity but maintaining calm statements and giving info and reassurance
