Question 1 of 5

Which client would a nurse determine to be the most likely candidate for involuntary commitment?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the elderly client is displaying behavior that poses an immediate danger to themselves and others, indicating a need for involuntary commitment for their safety and the safety of the community. Refusing medication or therapy (choices A and
B) does not necessarily warrant involuntary commitment unless it poses immediate harm. Homelessness and mental disorder (choice
C) alone do not justify involuntary commitment. In this case, the client's behavior of confusion, screaming obscenities, and disturbing neighbors is a clear indication of a severe mental health issue that requires immediate intervention through involuntary commitment.
