:
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

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.
