Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Traditional milieu therapy consists of containment, support, validation, structure, and involvement (Gunderson, 1978). Containment involves the provision of basic needs: food, shelter, safety, and security.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
With voluntary admission, clients make an autonomous decision to seek inpatient treatment by submitting a formal, written request. They also may give a parent or mental health or legal guardian the authority to request inpatient treatment for them. A client's status may change from voluntary to involuntary if the treatment team decides that the person is a threat to self or others. There may be a grace period of 24 hours to several days from when a client requests discharge and the treatment team completes its assessment. Police power provides for committing those who are deemed dangerous to others.
