A client can be involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric facility for the following reasons: (Select all that apply)

a. To maintain silence and be attentive to the client’s nonverbal communication and let the client gather his/her thoughts.

The best response for the nurse in this situation is to maintain silence and be attentive to the client's nonverbal communication. This allows the client to gather her thoughts and continue the conversation when she is ready. Interrupting the silence with a question or trying to push the client to share her feelings may cause her to withdraw further. It is important for the nurse to respect the client's pace and provide a safe and supportive environment for her to express her thoughts and feelings. Therefore,

Option a is the correct answer.

Involuntary admission to a psychiatric facility, also known as involuntary commitment, is a legal process in which a person is admitted to a psychiatric hospital without their consent. The criteria for involuntary admission may vary depending on the jurisdiction, but generally include a determination that the person is a danger to themselves or others or is unable to care for themselves due to a mental illness.

Therefore,

Options b, c, and d are all valid reasons for involuntary admission, as they relate to the person's ability to cause harm to themselves or others or their inability to care for themselves.

Options a and e, on the other hand, are not valid reasons for involuntary admission as they do not relate to the person's mental state or potential for harm to themselves or others.
