She seems able to care for herself.

Explanation:

Since the client can adequately determine whether she is in eatry or mental health center, this shows she is of sane mind, and seems to be able to care for herself.

A sane person is a person of sound mind, and is considered to be mentally healthy.

Hence, Sane people have good judgment, are reasonable, and can tell the difference between what's real and imagined.

Therefore, in this case, the client involved, seems to be able to tell what is real and what is imagined, where he is, and seems to be able to care fore herself.
