1- Woman refuses treatment for her unborn child.
--I think we can't do anything as she's the one carrying the fetus. We can start treatment once she has delivered the baby, am I right? For the USMLE, is there anything else we need to tell her or we need to do?

Found these questions online for practicing more questions, but there are no answers:
1.A young man is brought to the ER after a MVA. It was a head on collision between a small car and his truck. The old lady driving the car died on the spot. This young man has a few bruises on his chest and abdomen. He is otherwise stable and seems to have no serious injuries. In the mean time police arrives and ask you to with draw some blood for the blood alcohol levels. What you will do?
A. Ignore the police
B. Order the nurse to withdraw blood and label it and send it to the laboratory
C. Make a telephone call to the laboratory staff and request them as if they could
do the blood alcohol from the same amount of blood sent for other investigations.
D. Tell the police that you need to take consent from the patient
2.Now you have ordered the laboratory for the blood alcohol level. What will you
tell the police?

the police

When a teenager wants an abortion, after informing the parents do we also need consent from the parents?
