After a report of medical neglect, what should a counselor do when a family refuses a life-saving procedure due to religious beliefs?

Contact the family's religious leader
Request a court order for the procedure
Try to reason with the family
Nothing, respect their wishes

The correct answer is: Request a court order for the procedure

When a family refuses a life-saving procedure due to religious beliefs, it is important for a counselor to take action in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. In this situation, the best course of action would be to request a court order for the procedure. This option respects the family's religious beliefs while also protecting the child's health and safety. Contacting the family's religious leader (option A) may not guarantee that the child's welfare will be prioritized. Trying to reason with the family (option C) may not be effective if their religious beliefs are deeply ingrained. Doing nothing (option D) could potentially result in serious harm or even death for the child. Therefore, requesting a court order (option B) is the most appropriate and responsible action for a counselor to take in this scenario.
