What information must a client and their representative receive at admission?

At admission, it is essential for a client and their representative to receive a list of the client’s rights. This information is fundamental because it empowers clients and their advocates by clearly outlining what they can expect from the facility and what protections are afforded to them. Understanding their rights can help clients engage more effectively in their treatment and advocate for their best interests throughout their care.

Providing information about client rights can include details such as the right to informed consent, the right to privacy, the right to make decisions regarding their treatment, and the right to revoke consent to treatment. This foundational knowledge is crucial for fostering an environment of trust and accountability between the client and the facility.

While the other options are also important components of the admission process, the emphasis on client rights is paramount in ensuring clients are aware of their entitlements and can have a transparent and respectful relationship with the care providers right from the beginning of their treatment.
