5. The nurse is planning care for a hospitalized preschool-
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
aged child. Which should the nurse plan to ensure atraumatic care?
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
a. Limit explanation of procedures because the child is preschool aged. rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
b. Ask that all family members leave the room when performing procedures.
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
c. Allow the child to choose the type of juice to drink with the administration of oral med

ications.
d. Explain that EMLA cream cannot be used for the morning lab draw because there is no rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
t time for it to be effective.
rl rl rl rl rl rl
ANS: C rl
The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice of juice t
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
o drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschool child should
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase anxiety. The famil
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
y should be allowed to stay with the child during procedures, minimizing stress.
rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use the prescribed cr rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl rl
eam in time for morning laboratory draws to minimize pain.
