Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involuntary seclusion refers to the confinement of a person to a certain area, such as their room, without their consent and for reasons other than medical or safety. In this scenario, making the resident stay in her room to prevent an accident in the dining room constitutes involuntary seclusion, as it restricts her freedom for non-medical reasons.
