Behavioral Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Under which conditions would it be in the client's best interest for the court to appoint a conservator, or legal guardian? Select one that does not apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The appointment of a conservator or legal guardian is a separate process from civil commitment. People who are gravely disabled; are found to be incompetent; cannot provide food, clothing, and shelter for themselves even when resources exist; and cannot act in their own best interests may require appointment of a conservator. In these cases, the court appoints a person to act as a legal guardian who assumes many responsibilities for the person.
