Ans: B
Feedback:
Voluntary clients have certain rights that differ from those of other hospitalized clients. Specifically, they are considered competent (unless otherwise adjudicated) and therefore have the absolute right to refuse treatment, including psychotropic medications, unless they are dangerous to themselves or others, as in a violent destructive episode within the treatment unit. Though client preferences are always considered, these clients cannot dictate their plan of care without input from the care team.
