None:
Pediatricians may be asked or choose to provide care for parents during a child's visit. This care may include treatment of infectious diseases; immunization; screening, referral, or treatment for mental health issues; and assessment and management of breastfeeding problems. By providing medical care to parents, pediatricians can reduce barriers to care and improve the timeliness of needed interventions. This policy statement describes some practical and medical-legal issues associated with caring for parents and provides guidance about when and how pediatricians can provide care in a way that minimizes liability risk, even when a physician-patient relationship may be established. Common situations when pediatricians may consider providing care for parents are reviewed, and recommendations considering the pediatrician's personal preferences, training, and medical-legal considerations are provided.
