You Are Working in an Adolescent Residential Treatment Center

You are working in an adolescent residential treatment center. When admitting an adolescent to your unit, you need to get parental consent for care. You discover that the adolescent's parents are divorced. One parent and a stepparent are caring for the adolescent. You would have the consent forms signed by:

A) the parent or parents who were granted legal custody by the divorce decree
B) either parent, as both parents are still the biological parents and have the right to sign forms
C) the parent and stepparent the adolescent is living with at this time
D) a court-appointed attorney-at-law who acts in the adolescent's best interest
