The court shall not authorize such protective services <br>except those specifically designed to remove the adult from conditions of <br>immediate and irreparable physical injury or death. A copy of the order shall be <br>served upon the adult and his guardian, or if none, his caretaker. Service shall not be <br>made upon the person or caretaker who is believed to have perpetrated the abuse, <br>neglect, or exploitation. (2) To implement an ex parte order, the court may authorize forcible entry of the premises of the adult for the purpose of rendering protective services or transporting <br>the adult to another location for the provision of such services. Authorized forcible <br>entry shall be accomplished by a peace officer accompanied by a representative of <br>the cabinet. (3) Upon the issuance of an ex parte order, the cabinet must file a petition as soon as possible.
