Woman in crisis-what ethical-legal rules apply

Reference no: EM13196504

You are called out to see a woman in crisis. She is in the ER, saying she is suicidal and wants help. You find out she is married to Ted, your supervisor. She reports her distress is partly caused by the fact that she is pregnant, but the child is not Ted's. He doesn't know about any of this. (trust me, this stuff happens...truth IS stranger than fiction!)

What would you do? What ethical/legal rules apply? Why? What about documentation issues? Finally, what issues might you have personally (e.g your feelings about what is right/wrong versus ethical standards?)
