First year Student Here............My Instructor asked us this question: You Have a 16 year old Female Patient Who thinks that she is pregant, what do you do?

The Class had a few answers but he wouldnt tell us, until we figured it out....these were some of our answers.....

Tell The Parents
Get a Pregnancy Test Done
Sign Pregancy Form

I was just wondering what you should do??? is it violating HIPPA by telling the patients mother???
