While most minor teens can consent to birth control services in the United States, there is a great variability in who may access and release their medical records. In many states:
 
  1. Reproductive information is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act (HIPAA).
  2. Teens cannot get birth control without a parent's consent.
  3. Records are available to anyone who wishes to access them.
  4. Parents can legally access all medical records of their minor children, which limits confidentiality.

Question 2

The parish nurse who identifies and reports neglect, abuse, and illegal behaviors to the appropriate legal sources is functioning as a/an:
 
  1. Counselor
  2. Facilitator
  3. Liaison
  4. Advocate
