Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a psychiatric unit is admitting a client who attacked a neighbor. The nurse should know that the client can be kept in the hospital after the 72-hr hold is over for which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client is a danger to herself or others. This is because, in a psychiatric unit, the primary concern is ensuring the safety of the client and others. If the client is deemed a danger to themselves or others, it is necessary to keep them in the hospital for further evaluation and treatment to prevent harm.
Incorrect choices:
A: The client's willingness to accept treatment is important but not the sole reason for keeping them in the hospital.
B: Personal feelings towards the neighbor are not directly related to the client's safety or need for hospitalization.
D: Moving out of the state does not necessarily indicate immediate danger to self or others.
