A nurse in an urgent care clinic is contributing to the plan of care for a group of clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients will require parental consent prior to receiving treatment?

A. A 15-year-old client who requests testing for an STI is incorrect. In many states, minors can consent to STI testing and treatment without parental consent. Laws vary by location, but generally, minors are granted confidentiality in matters related to sexual health. B. A 13-year-old client who requests contraception advice is incorrect. Many jurisdictions allow minors to receive contraceptive counseling and prescriptions without parental consent to promote reproductive health and prevent unintended pregnancies. C. A 14-year-old client who requires a biopsy of a mole is correct. A biopsy is considered a medical procedure that typically requires parental consent unless the minor is legally emancipated or falls under specific exceptions. D. A 16-year-old client who requires prenatal care for pregnancy is incorrect. Many states allow pregnant minors to seek prenatal care without parental consent to ensure the health and well-being of both the minor and the unborn child.
