for
discharge against medical advice so I can leave now.” Which is the

Selected
Answer: “I will get them for you, but let’s talk about your decision to
leave treatment.”
Answers: “I can’t give you those forms without your health care
provider’s knowledge.”
“I’ll get the forms for you right now and bring them to your
room.”
“Since you signed your consent for treatment, you may
leave if you desire.”
“I will get them for you, but let’s talk about your decision
to leave treatment.”
Response
Feedback Yes. A patient who has been voluntarily admitted as a
: psychiatric inpatient has the right to demand and obtain release
in most states. However, as a patient advocate, the nurse is
responsible for weighing factors related to the patient’s wishes
and best interests. By asking for information, the nurse may be
able to help the patient reconsider the decision. The statement
that discharge forms can’t be given without the health care
provider’s knowledge is not true. Facilitating discharge without
consent is not in the patient’s best interests before exploring
the reason for the request.
