Rationale: Involuntary commitment is reserved for those individuals who are dangerous to self or others or unable to meet their basic needs. The threats to the client's family are considered a danger to others. The client's use of profanity, reports of auditory hallucinations, or the use of marijuana are not criteria for involuntary commitment.
