I do not need a title page. This is a discussion board entry only.
 
 
Select one of the following ethical/legal topics:
 

Autonomy
Beneficence
Justice
Fidelity
Veracity
Involuntary hospitalization and due process of civil commitment
Informed assent/consent and capacity
Duty to warn
Restraints
HIPPA
Child and elder abuse reporting

In the Walden library, locate a total of four scholarly, professional, or legal resources related to this topic. One should address ethical considerations related to this topic for adults, one should be on ethical considerations related to this topic for children/adolescents, one should be on legal considerations related to this topic for adults, and one should be on legal considerations related to this topic for children/adolescents.

 
Briefly identify the topic you selected. Then, summarize the articles you selected, explaining the most salient ethical and legal issues related to the topic as they concern psychiatric-mental health practice for children/adolescents and for adults. Explain how this information could apply to your clinical practice, including specific implications for practice within your state. Attach the PDFs of your articles.
 
I will attach the resources used for this week.
