Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's refusal to go to the hospital, regardless of the severity of the problem, is not a valid factor in determining hospitalization. The primary considerations include the client's safety, the least restrictive environment necessary for recovery, and the client's danger to self or others. Insurance coverage or ability to pay may also influence the decision, but a client's refusal alone, especially in cases of severe danger or need, does not exempt them from necessary hospitalization.
