Ms. Wooly brought her daughter, Mary, age 16, to the health care center to be seen by the nurse for a referral to the physician. Together, they tell the nurse that Mary has had nausea, vomiting, and headaches for the past 2 weeks. She has vomited "almost every day." Ms. Wooly began to cry as she tells the nurse that Mary does not remember the date of her last menstrual period and that she is
afraid that Mary is pregnant. During this interchange, Mary appears stoic and does not cry or have any verbalizations. After a blood test that confirmed the pregnancy, Ms. Wooly became calmer.
