Let's analyze the table to determine if each scenario of sexual intercourse must be reported in California:
1. A 14-year-old with a 17-year-old
- Locate the age of the patient (14) on the leftmost column.
- Locate the age of the partner (17) on the top row.
- Find the cell where this row and column intersect.
- According to the table, for an age of patient 14 and age of partner 17, the cell contains a 'Y'.
- This means that this instance must be reported.
2. A 15-year-old with a 13-year-old
- Locate the age of the patient (15) on the leftmost column.
- Locate the age of the partner (13) on the top row.
- Find the cell where this row and column intersect.
- According to the table, for an age of patient 15 and age of partner 13, the cell contains a 'Y'.
- This means that this instance must be reported.
3. A 16-year-old with a 14-year-old
- Locate the age of the patient (16) on the leftmost column.
- Locate the age of the partner (14) on the top row.
- Find the cell where this row and column intersect.
- According to the table, for an age of patient 16 and age of partner 14, the cell contains an 'N'.
- This means that this instance does not need to be reported.
4. A 17-year-old with a 15-year-old
- Locate the age of the patient (17) on the leftmost column.
- Locate the age of the partner (15) on the top row.
- Find the cell where this row and column intersect.
- According to the table, for an age of patient 17 and age of partner 15, the cell contains an 'N'.
- This means that this instance does not need to be reported.
Based on the analysis of the table, the instance of a 14-year-old with a 17-year-old must be reported. Therefore, the correct answer is the first scenario: a 14-year-old with a 17-year-old.
