You have just moved across country and have started a new staff position when a 14-year-old girl, jane, is brought to the urgent care clinic by her mother, ms jones, for evaluation of dysuria and hematuria. from the mother you learn that the patient’s most recent period was two months ago. without telling the patient or her mother you order a pregnancy test which turns out to be positive. what is the recommended next statement regarding the positive pregnancy test results?

You can step outside and ask the nurse the following request, "please contact the health department and let me know the state law regarding notification of parents when young teens are pregnant or teens confidentiality regarding pregnancy ."

Explanation:

Different states operates differently on similar matters and it will not be safe to assume that if where you come from it is confidential information when a teen is pregnant then it applies also on that country you have just moved in.

Some states have health organisations that protect the right of teens to keep pregnancy news to themselves until they can decide what they want to do.

Some states may suggest that a teenager is not in their full capability to make proper decisions on such issues so parents may be the first contact hence for these reasons it is crucial to know how the country that you are now in deals with such matters so you don't find yourself acting out of the established country's standards.
