Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
If individuals admitted to a psychiatric facility are judged to be incompetent to make decisions, the court will appoint a guardian to make decisions for them.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The form for involuntary admission usually states that there is substantial likelihood that in the near future, the person will inflict serious bodily harm on himself or another person. The need for drug therapy, care under a psychiatrist, or the inability of family members to care for the individual is not a legal justification for involuntary admission.
