Indicate whether the statement is true or false

It is a busy Friday night in the aid room when a child arrives complaining of abdominal pain. The child states that her parents dropped her off and that they are at the movies. You are concerned because the child is a minor with no adult to give consent for treatment. You would:

a. recognize that you need the parents' consent and try to reach them by phone. b. recognize that the child needs to be assessed and that there is implied consent to treat. c. recognize that you must have some adult's permission and try to locate an aunt or an uncle. d. do as much of an assessment as possible without touching the child to determine if a life-threatening emergency exists.
