Just like when clients are reporting that they intend on harming an identified victim, individuals who are providing care have a duty to:
  1. Release the individual, regardless of intent
  2. Confine the individual who may be at risk for causing harm
  3. Keep the person in sight at all times
  4. Release the person only after they have been evaluated
Explanation
Answer - B - While you are required to have the individual assessed for a psychiatric hold and you must hold them without releasing them, it is also important to provide yourself with safety in the moment, so that when and if the client goes to leave, you protect yourself first.
