You’ve been tasked with caring for a 14-year-old girl who has an unplanned pregnancy. She lives with her single mother, who works as a Medical Assistant at a local clinic. The girl’s mother does not want her daughter to keep the baby because having a baby at this age will complicate her life. The girl wants to be a stay-at-home mom and has taken on a part-time job. The girl’s boyfriend, who is 16 years old, is supportive, but his parents are not. Write a 1-2 page APA paper outlining local legal and ethical resources to assist her in making an informed decision. Identify your own biases in the paper and how you would react to the client’s potential options.

Make certain to include the following in your paper:

Identify local resources that can help with psychosocial and financial needs.
Discuss the legal and ethical issues that are important in the case of teen pregnancy, as well as what agencies in your area may be of assistance to the teen. Address the entire family, including the pregnant teen, her significant other, and the baby’s prospective grandparents.
Discuss the role of family violence, sexual violence, and drug abuse or use in teen pregnancies, and provide resources to the teen if she requires them.
Examine the various educational resources available in your area, such as exercise for pregnancy classes, prenatal classes, breastfeeding classes, grandparent’s classes, and other educational support resources for the teen.
Discuss the roles of work and education. What are the rules regarding the number of hours she will be allowed to work, and how will this affect her schooling?
