D
Feedback:
Vulnerable adult legislation is applied to clients who have been sexually abused by a staff member or another client. This law is in place to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Civil rights legislation provides for the equal treatment of all clients, regardless of ethnic or religious background. Before a preliminary commitment hearing, a judge places a district court hold. Most healthcare institutions provide advocacy to advise people about their civil rights.
