The nurse is talking with the parents of a pregnant 15 year old. Which statement by one of the parents is expected?
1. "We're very happy for her. It will be easier to focus on education with a new baby."
2. "I'm not going to get involved. She understands how her health insurance works."
3. "Her father told her to stop dating that boy. Now look at the trouble she's gotten into."
4. "An abortion is the best choice for her. She can deal with our Catholic priest later."

Rationale 1: Most parents accept the pregnancy but are not excited when their 15-year-old daughter is pregnant. Education is harder when child care is involved. Teens who give birth are less likely to complete their education.
Rationale 2: The parent of a pregnant teen is usually the support person, and helps the teen understand how to access prenatal care. It is unlikely that a 15 year old would understand health insurance.
Rationale 3: This statement indicates anger and dismay, which are expected when a parent finds out about a teen daughter's pregnancy.
Rationale 4: This is not necessarily expected from a parent. It indicates that the parent might be forcing the teen into abortion despite their being a part of a religious tradition that disapproves of abortion.
