A nurse is assessing an older adult client's ability to make a successful role transition to widowhood following the death of her partner. Which of the following factors should the nurse include in the assessment? (Select all that apply.)

A. Lack of eye contact: Difficulty with eye contact is a common characteristic of ASD. Many individuals with ASD may have challenges in establishing or maintaining eye contact during social interactions.

B. Inability to play quietly: Individuals with ASD may engage in repetitive or stereotyped behaviors, including noisy or disruptive play. However, the inability to play quietly is not universally present in all individuals with ASD.

C. Constant spinning of a toy: Repetitive or stereotyped movements, such as spinning objects or repetitive hand movements, are common behaviors observed in individuals with ASD. This behavior is often referred to as "stimming" or self-stimulatory behavior.

D. Withdrawal from physical contact: Sensory sensitivities are common in individuals with ASD, and some may be hypersensitive to touch or physical contact. As a result, they may withdraw from or avoid physical contact with others.

E. Repeated voiding in clothes: Repeated voiding in clothes is not typically considered a core feature of ASD. However, some individuals with ASD may have challenges with toileting, including difficulties with toilet training or sensory sensitivities related to bathroom routines.

A. A client who is a voluntary admission does not have the right to request to be discharged.

This statement is incorrect. Clients admitted voluntarily to a mental health unit have the right to request discharge from the facility. However, there may be specific procedures and legal requirements to be followed for discharge, but the client ultimately has the right to request it.

B. A client who is admitted involuntarily has the right to refuse to participate in therapy.

This statement is generally true. Even if a client is admitted involuntarily, they still retain certain rights, including the right to refuse treatment such as therapy. However, there may be situations where treatment is deemed necessary for the client's safety or the safety of others, and in such cases, treatment may be provided against the client's wishes following appropriate legal processes.

C. A client who is admitted involuntarily cannot refuse to take prescribed psychotropic medications.

This statement is generally false. While involuntary admission may involve certain limitations on the client's autonomy, such as restrictions on leaving the facility, clients generally retain the right to refuse medications, including psychotropic medications. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when a client's refusal poses an imminent risk to their safety or the safety of others, in which case treatment may be provided following legal procedures.

D. A client who is a voluntary admission cannot withdraw consent after it has been given.

This statement is incorrect. Clients who are admitted voluntarily have the right to withdraw their consent for treatment or participation in any aspect of their care, including interventions previously agreed upon. However, similar to involuntary admissions, there may be situations where treatment is deemed necessary for the client's well-being, and in such cases, withdrawal of consent may be overridden following appropriate legal processes.
