A Patient's Insurance Will Not Pay for Continuing Hospitalization at a Private

A patient's insurance will not pay for continuing hospitalization at a private facility, so the family considers transferring the patient to a public psychiatric hospital. They express concern that the patient will "never get any treatment." Select the nurse's most helpful reply.

A) "Under the law, treatment must be provided. Hospitalization without treatment violates patients' rights."
B) "That's a justifiable concern, because the right to treatment extends only to provision of food, shelter, and safety."
C) "Much will depend on other patients, because the right to treatment for a psychotic patient takes precedence over the right to treatment of a patient who is stable."
D) "All patients in public hospitals have the right to choose both a primary therapist and a primary nurse."
