Guest guest Posted September 18, 1998 Report Share Posted September 18, 1998 I am curious about a situation I witnessed...An 82 yr. old female is brought to the ED because she says she needs to go. After seeing two Drs. she tells both of them she would like to go to a behavioral health place. Apparently they agreed with her decision. Upon arrival at this particular place, the admitting attendant will not accept her, because now she says she does not want to be there! Nurses notes state she was combative (she was restrained), and delusional. While observing her on the way to the center she babbled about " off the wall " things (i.e.: she called us because someone took her records out of her house and put them back in the wrong order) Should she have been admitted or sent back to the ED??? Please justify this answer! Maybe I am just not seeing something!
