Answer: B - The best course for a jailed pregnant adolescent would be to use the TWEAK to assess tolerance. This test targets the current concern of relatives and friends along with an interview of the parents and adolescence regarding the woman's drug usage. if the results indicate the girl might have used drugs several times the family's medical insurance and the community resources should be assessed for possible admission into treatment. It would be a conflict of interest if all of these options were not explained to the parents and the judge. To jail a pregnant adolescent is not an inappropriate decision. However it exposes her to other prisoners' experiences and knowledge that might not be in her best interest.
