Question:

Which statement is true regarding medical legality?

A Consent for medical treatment can be given by a minor with a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
explanation

The HIPAA Privacy Rule allows for treatment of an STD infection without parental consent. The client is “advised” to contact sexual partners but is not “required” to give names. After age 13, permission from parents is not needed, based upon current privacy laws. A minor is considered "the individual" who can consent for STD treatment. Each state has regulations regarding the stage of pregnancy when a woman can legally obtain an abortion. Student nurses can be held liable for their actions. Leaving a patient without care is a form of negligence.
