Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Any three of the following:
A petitioner, law enforcement officer, or other responsible person files a petition that states that the client meets the criteria for involuntary admission (i.e., he or she is a danger to himself or herself or to others).

The client is detained for an evaluation by a physician or other qualified clinician for a period of time that may vary from state to state.

The clinician certifies that the client meets the standard for involuntary commitment.

The petition and the certificate are filed with the court and a hearing date is set.

The court determines whether or not the client meets the standard for involuntary admission.

The court will require that the client be admitted if the client meets the standard (this admission may be to an inpatient or outpatient program, depending on the needs of the client and the state guidelines).
