Which, if any, is not a practical impediment to care when a teen seeks confidentiality regarding diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition?
 
  1. Use of parent's insurance
   2. Parental right to access child's medical records
   3. Mature Minor Doctrine
   4. None of the above

Question 2

A school-age child has been diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. The nurse is providing discharge instructions and would need a clarification on the order because:
 
  1. The child is to have Risperidone as a daily medication.
   2. The child is to receive an SSRI.
   3. The child has been recommended to have an ECT.
   4. The child will need cognitive behavioral therapy.

1. Parent's insurance can be used, but they may find out the origin for the visit because of billing.
2. Parental rights may be deferred because of select issues.
3. The Mature Minor Doctrine allows a health-care provider to provide select care without the knowledge or consent of parents if the child demonstrates he/she meets the requirements of informed consent and the request is validated from the perspective of the provider. There may be other practical impediments nevertheless.
4. One answer is correct.
