Question 1 of 5
The discharge planning team is discussing plans for the dismissal of a 16-year-old admitted for complications associated with asthma. The client's mother has not participated in any of the discharge planning processes but has stated that she wants to be involved. Which of the following reasons might prohibit this mother from participating in discharge planning?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client is an emancipated minor. Emancipated minors are legally considered adults and have the right to make their own medical decisions without parental involvement. In this case, since the 16-year-old is emancipated, the mother's participation in discharge planning may be prohibited.
Choice B is incorrect because the mother's work schedule does not necessarily prohibit her from participating in discharge planning.
Choice C is irrelevant as the client having a job and a driver's license does not impact the mother's ability to participate.
Choice D, the mother not speaking English, may present a communication barrier but does not inherently prohibit her from participating.
