The nurse is preparing a 6-year-old child for an IV insertion. Which one of the following statements by the nurse is appropriate when preparing a child for a potentially painful procedure?

  1. "Some say this feels like a pinch or a bug bite. You tell me what it feels like."
  2. "This is going to hurt a lot; close your eyes and hold my hand."
  3. "This is a terrible procedure, so don't look."
  4. "This will hurt only a little; try to be a big boy."

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

(A) Educating the child about the pain may lessen anxiety. The child should be prepared for a potentially painful procedure but avoid suggesting pain. The nurse should allow the child his own sensory perception and evaluation of the procedure. (B) The nurse should avoid absolute descriptive statements and allow the child his own perception of the procedure. (C) The nurse should avoid evaluative statements or descriptions and give the child control in describing his reactions. (D) False statements regarding a painful procedure will cause a loss of trust between the child and the nurse.

  1. Boardlike, rigid abdomen
  2. Loss of the urge to defecate
