Patient is a 16-year-old Caucasian female who presents to the clinic with complaints of a stomachache for the past several weeks. The aches worsen with hunger and are relieved with eating. She rates her pain a 8/10. Her last period was three months ago, and she has a positive urine pregnancy test. She reports sleeping problems, fear, and anxiety. She also lives with her aunt and uncle who are her legal guardians as she was removed from her mother for drug use and drugs being found in the home. When discussing her feelings about her mother’s boyfriend she becomes tearful and doesn’t want to talk much about him. She states, “she does not want this baby in her” and doesn’t want her aunt and uncle to find out.
