Bridget is 16-year-old female who comes to the clinic for a sports physical with her mom. When her mom leaves the room during the examination, Bridget asks for a prescription for birth control. She requests that you do not tell her mother. Bridget is healthy with no allergies. She is at the 50th percentile for body mass index (BMI). Her blood pressure is 112/68 mm Hg and her examination is normal except for mild acne on her face and upper chest. What is Bridget’s initial treatment plan?
