Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

D
The most likely reason for hospitalization for a client living in a group home in the community is if the client made verbal threats toward the neighbors. Involuntary admission to the hospital occurs when the client is harmful to him- or herself (suicidal), harmful to others (homicidal), or unable to care for him- or herself. Auditory hallucinations, short attention span, and the inability to maintain a job are not reasons for hospitalization.
