Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The decrease in pregnancies among teens has been attributed to stabilization of the numbers of teens becoming sexually active, increased condom use, and increased use of more effective and long-acting hormonal methods of birth control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In many states, parents can legally access all medical records of their minor children, which limits the confidentiality assurances offered to a teen seeking reproductive health care. The HIPAA Privacy Rule established that if a minor consented to care, then only that individual could access and release those medical records. However, the Privacy Rule also deferred to existing state law.
