A 60-year-old patient with bipolar I disorder presents during a manic episode. He wants to withdraw his entire retirement savings to invest in a "guaranteed" business venture he learned about online. His wife is asking the PMHNP to "do something." The patient is not suicidal, not homicidal, and is not an immediate physical danger to himself or others. Can the PMHNP initiate an involuntary hold?
