Answer
Forcibly giving medication, against someone's will. Preventing access to friends or family under restricted access. Staff making all decisions on a person's behalf.
Explanation
This question pertains to understanding the concept of liberty as per Law. Liberty as per the law is understood as the power given to an individual to make choices about one's own life, free from confinement, restriction or control by others unjustly. Three aspects listed in the choices can directly interfere with the liberty of a person, which includes forcibly giving medication against a person's will, preventing access to friends or family under restricted access and, making all decisions on a person's behalf without proper legal authorisation. The only choice that possibly doesn't intrinsically involves deprivation of liberty is ‘allowing someone to be discharged under the request of a carer’ because its actual effect may not involve the unfair confinement or restriction of that person.
