Question 1 of 5

The nurse is providing care for a client who has been involuntarily admitted for psychiatric treatment. What information about involuntary commitment should the nurse share with the client's family?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: While a psychiatrist may be involved in the decision to commit a client involuntarily, simply stating that the client's behavior is irrational does not provide sufficient information about the reasons for commitment (no reference). Involuntary commitment typically occurs when a person's mental illness makes them a danger to themselves or others. It is essential for the nurse to communicate this crucial information to the client's family to help them understand the necessity of treatment. The inability to manage daily life affairs may be a factor in considering involuntary commitment, but it is not the primary reason for such a decision (no reference). Accusation of a legal offense is not directly related to involuntary commitment for psychiatric treatment, which focuses on the client's mental health and potential risk to self or others (no reference).
