I am sorry Mm, I am not in a position to talk about that subject. You will have to ask your daughter.

Hello friends ,I have recently joined your wonderful group- Deepak in Hamilton , NEW ZEALAND
Ritu, Consider few points here:
1.Patients confidentiality should be respected.
2.Encourage pt to disclose to her mother.
3.confidentiality-AMA ethics- can be broken -if patient minor and at risk of STDs including HIV & parent is required during counselling[-second one is bit trecherous]
4. Maintain confidentiality even if minor in following cases-
contracep treatment/substance abuse/pregnancy
I am not sure about sexual assault-whether to maintain confidentiality on request of patient ? what do you think?
5.If patient needs abortion confidentiality can be broken-subject to approval of hospital ethical committee.
These are favorite question in step 2 as well.
