Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an acute mental health facility is leading a nursing education session about the legal aspects of involuntary admissions. Which of the following pieces of information should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: An involuntary admission is justified if the client is a danger to themselves or others. This is a key legal aspect of involuntary admissions in mental health facilities. The rationale behind this is that involuntary admission laws are designed to protect individuals who are at risk of harming themselves or others due to their mental health condition. This criterion is commonly used to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for involuntary admission.


Choice A is incorrect because while clients who are involuntarily admitted may be prescribed medications, it is not a legal requirement for them to take them.
Choice C is incorrect as the duration of an involuntary admission can vary based on the individual's condition and legal regulations, it is not limited to two weeks.
Choice D is incorrect as clients who are involuntarily admitted generally cannot leave the facility against medical advice due to safety concerns.
