Direct coercion is allowed to be applied:

1) to a person with mental disorders who refuses to comply with doctor’s or nurse’s ordinal instructions;
2) to prevent a person admitted to the psychiatric hospital without their consent from unauthorized leave;
3) if a person with mental disorders carries out an attack against life or health on themselves or another person;
4) if a person with mental disorders refuses to give explanation to psychiatric hospital’s Ombudsman for Patients’ Rights;
5) if a person with mental disorders seriously interferes with or prevents the operation of the mental health care facility.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2,3.
  2. B. 1,2,5.
  3. C. 2,3,4.
  4. D. 2,3,5.
  5. E. 2,4,5.
Hint

Grounds for coercion relate to danger, serious disruption, or tasks the Mental Health Act itself authorises — not to mere disobedience.
