Mary is 16 years old and pregnant. She is receiving her prenatal care at a local obstetrician office. Her mother, who she has not spoken to in several weeks, is in the obstetrician office demanding to see her daughter's prenatal record. The obstetrician asked Mary if she would like to share her records with her mother and she stated she would not. Does the mother have a right to see Mary's record? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
No. Mary is not an emancipated teenager; however, she is entitled to receive prenatal care without her mother's consent and involvement. The obstetrician office does not comply with the demands of the mother.
