Question 2
The dermatologist treating a 16-year-old girl with a history of severe acne has ordered a pregnancy test so she can be started on a course of isotretinoin.
The teen's caregiver has said that her daughter is a virgin, and she refuses to allow her to have the required pregnancy testing. Which of the following would be the best action for the nurse to take? The nurse should:
A) acknowledge the caregiver's discomfort about the pregnancy testing but encourage her to allow the daughter to have the testing so that she can use the medication.
B) speak with the teen alone to ask her if she is sexually active. If she says she is not sexually active, let the provider know that it is okay to write the prescription.
C) arrange for the daughter to have the pregnancy testing without the caregiver's knowledge.
D) have the caregiver sign a permission form acknowledging that the girl has been given the drug without pregnancy testing.
