Legal Question
Hi,
During a 5150 hold (3 day involuntary psychiatric hold), if the anorexic doesn't eat anything, is he/she fed by a feeding tube or is the person offered a nutritional drink like Ensure first?
Does the anorexic have the option to eat solid food or drink a nutrtional drink before being punished with a feeding tube?
Also, in a treatment center, if an anorexic doesn't eat anything, is the person offered a nutritional drink first before the feeding tube? Is the anorexic only fed by feeding tube if he/she doesn't eat solid food or drink a nutritional drink?
Please give me full details of what happens if an anorexic doesn't eat anything during a 5150 or while in a treatment center. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Chris
