   Her blood pressure readings have been extremely erratic. She has a history of drug abuse, and detoxification management is in order. When this client's roommate asks you to have her admitted, you respond: a. She doesn't want help, so I doubt that she'll be admitted.
  b. What kind of insurance does she have? It might only cover part of the care.
  c. That's not up to me. It depends on how many times she has done this before.
  d. For her safety, the doctor can seek to have her hospitalized involuntarily.

Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients who attempt suicide can be admitted to the hospital involuntarily by the physician for the clients' own safety. Reasons for involuntary admissions are potentially harmful to self, potentially harmful to others, or unable to care for self. Because the client has attempted to suicide, has a history of drug abuse, and states she does not want to go on, she is a safety risk to herself.
