Patient consent. Pregnant woman is considered adult.
Agree, patient consent.
well, it depends on which state you are living at.

for many states, you will need parents consent. for a few others you do not.

Pregnant woman under 18 (not to mention she is only 14) is NOT considered to be adult.

I remember this UW question and I think only about 10-20% people got it UW correct answer... I personally do not think it is correct..

emancipated minor:at 13>>it is considered if she is married,pregnancy isnot include in the emancipated minor group
