Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence Practice Exam

If a client, parent, or guardian is unable to write, sign, or objects, when must the disclosure form be signed by the latest?

1. First visit

2. Second visit

3. Third visit

4. Fourth visit

The correct answer is: First visit

The disclosure form must be signed by the first visit in any of the scenarios given such as if the client is unable to write, sign, or objects. The other options are incorrect as they suggest waiting for subsequent visits before obtaining the signature, which goes against the principle of informed consent. It is essential to ensure that all relevant parties are fully aware and informed about the terms of the disclosure before proceeding with any visits or treatment. Therefore, the disclosure form should be signed as early as possible, which is the first visit in this case.
