Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback: If she is not dangerous to herself or others, the client maintains the right to refuse treatment even when it is needed. If a client is able to give consent, she cannot be coerced into accepting treatment, have her family sign permission for her, or be committed by the family unless she is a danger to herself or others.

C
