◉ A client with a mental illness in the emergency unit needs to

authorized to give it on the client's behalf in case of an emergency
situation. Clients with mental illnesses have the right to refuse
treatment until a court has legally determined that they are
incompetent to decide for themselves. However, in case of
emergency situations, healthcare providers should not wait for a
court order. In case healthcare providers are unable to obtain

procedure to save the client's life. In such circumstances the law
accepts that the client would wish to be treated.

interventions, and outcomes of treatment. The Omaha system
provides codes for problem classification, intervention, and a
problem rating scale for outcomes. NIC provides codes only for
interventions. NANDA International provides codes only for nursing
diagnoses.

making best supports which principle?
Justice
