You work that day in a Psychiatric Unit. You took in a young motherwho had overdosed on drugs. Her child was taken into protective custody and she was taken to the ER to stablize. She refused to sign the consent form for admission and treatment on the closed mental unit for her and her child’s safety. You explained that  she didn’t have to sign the admittance consent and explained what you knew about her child, treatment plan, and consent process. You keep saying she has a choice and didn’t have to sign the agreement, but if she didn’t sign, her psychiatrist would seek and obtain a “court hold” to compel her into treatment. If she signed “voluntarily”, she was complying with treatment. You felt ethically obligated to protect it. So you planned to gently calm her and wait for her. But when you weren’t there. The nurse supervisor rushed to the patient, presenting the form and a pen, and demanding immediate signature. Your patient nodded, her eyes welling up. 1. Identify the legal issue in the scenario.
