A nurse is caring for an adolescent who reports manifestations of an STI. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale:A) Adolescents have the right to consent to their own medical care for STI screening and treatment in many jurisdictions.B) Instructing the adolescent that a guardian must be present for consent may discourage them from seeking necessary care due to privacy concerns.C) Confidentiality is essential in healthcare, and unless there are specific legal or ethical reasons to involve the guardian, the adolescent's privacy should be respected.D) Obtaining phone consent from the guardian may not be necessary if the adolescent is capable of consenting to their own care.
