The overriding goalinproviding atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice of juice to

drink whentaking oralmedicationsprovides the child witha sense ofcontrol. The preschool child should be
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d




prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase anxiety. The family

should be allowed to staywith the child during procedures, minimizing stress.

Criticizing parents for not visiting in shift report is nontherapeutic and shows an under involvement withthe

parents. Reading a fairytale isatherapeuticand age-appropriateaction. Discussing feelings of an emotional
