Louisiana’s outpatient facility and state policies

What are Louisiana’s outpatient facility and state policies regarding an inpatient hold? Does the patient have to be suicidal/homicidal or are there other criteria to place someone on hold?

1. • How long are these holds for your state and to have them extended what is required?
   • Think about either your current place of employment or current clinical site.
2. What are some potential biases you may have with a patient making suicidal statements?
   • If you have dealt with this, how did it go? If you have not yet, how do you think it will go?
