A 14 yearold female comes to the clinic where you work askin

A 14 year-old female comes to the clinic where you work asking for a pregnancy test, STD testing and for birth control information. Are you allowed to call her home and speak to her parents/guardians with the results of the tests? Should you be allowed?

Solution

Yes, i am allowed to call her parents and can speak about the tests enquired by her daughter because, she is 14 years old female and she is a minor.If she is major,according to gvt rules and regulations she has a right to handle her own decisions but when she is a minor, the decisions regarding some issues will be under parents care.So i am allowed to talk to her parents regarding her enquiery about STD testing and birth control information.
