Question

Can a nurse examine an under age child of the opposite gender without the parents?

Answer 1

It is up to both the child and parents. Of old enough, the child can say they’d like to be alone

Answer 2

Answer:

If the child is in need of imidate care then yes the nurse can examine the child

proffecionally but if it is a normal check-up than it is okay for the nurse to examine again profescionally but the child can ask for a same sex nurse if they feel uncomfortable

Explanation:

if it is life or death it is more important to help the child but if not than it is normal to ask for a same sex nurse because the situation is less hectic and can be worked around to make the patient feel more open to talk about their health but no matter life or death some parents will want their child to be examined with the same sex nurse/doctor so the answer should be yes but could aslo be depends on the situations
