ATI Mental Health Exam III Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which statement by the newly hired staff member demonstrates an understanding of the legal guidelines for caring for clients on a mental health unit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Clients have the right to refuse medication unless a court order mandates it." This statement demonstrates an understanding of legal guidelines as it upholds clients' rights to make decisions about their own treatment. Clients have the right to refuse medication except in cases where a court order overrides their decision for specific reasons like if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect:
A: Clients do not always need a family member present during treatment, as this could violate their privacy and autonomy.
B: Clients can be discharged without their consent if they no longer pose a risk to themselves or others, following appropriate assessment and procedures.
D: Not all client interactions need to be recorded, only those that are relevant to their care plan and treatment.
