Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the rights listed are protected by advocacy efforts and constitutional provisions. People with mental illness have the right to refuse treatment (A), receive treatment in the least restrictive environment (D), and access legal counsel (C). While individuals may have the right to express a preference for a particular medical practitioner, they do not necessarily have the right to choose that practitioner if they are in a hospital or otherwise receiving treatment through a specific provider. Thus, this right (B) may not be explicitly protected in the same way as the others listed. However, advocacy efforts may still focus on ensuring that patients are provided with a high standard of medical care and the ability to communicate their preferences and concerns to their care team.
