What is required when psychotropic medication is prescribed for a child without parental consent?

  1. A medical examination

  2. Parental notification

  3. Court order

  4. Child's consent

The correct answer is: Court order

When psychotropic medication is prescribed for a child without parental consent, the child's medical needs may be deemed urgent or necessary for their well-being. In this scenario, obtaining a court order is necessary to allow the child to receive the medication. A medical examination may be required beforehand to properly diagnose the child's condition, but it is not the only requirement. Parental notification is also important in most situations, but it is not sufficient on its own without the parent's consent. The child's consent is not necessary as they are not legally competent to make such decisions.
