A member asked:
Will clinic allow a 17 year old to go in for pelvic exam by male resident without adult supervision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RN in room: It is unusual for a male physician to examine a female patient unclothed without a chaperone present, typically a nurse. However, due to confidentiality concerns, a parent may not need to be present, at the patient's request. This in no way implies that the physical exam would be unobserved or unsupervised.
