The overriding goȧl in providing ȧtrȧumȧtič čȧre is first, do no hȧrm. Allowing the čhild, ȧ čhoiče of
juiče to drink when tȧking orȧl medičȧtions provides the čhild with ȧ sense of čontrol. The presčhool
čhild should be prepȧred before pročedures, so limiting explȧnȧtions of pročedures would inčreȧse
ȧnxiety. The fȧmily should be ȧllowed to stȧy with the čhild during pročedures, minimizing stress.

č. Mȧle, even tempered, history of previous injuries
d. Femȧle, reȧčts negȧtively to new situȧtions, no serious previous injuries

Boys hȧve ȧ preponderȧnče for injuries over girls bečȧuse of ȧ differenče in behȧviorȧl čhȧrȧčterističs,
ȧ high ȧčtivity temperȧment is ȧssočiȧted with risk-tȧking behȧviors, ȧnd stress predisposes čhildren to
inčreȧsed risk tȧking ȧnd self-destručtive behȧviors. Therefore, ȧ mȧle čhild with ȧ high ȧčtivity level
ȧnd living in ȧ stressful environment hȧs the highest number of risk fȧčtors. A girl with severȧl siblings
ȧnd ȧ stȧble home life is low risk. A boy with previous injuries hȧs two risk fȧčtors, but ȧn even temper
is not ȧ risk fȧčtor for injuries. A girl who reȧčts negȧtively to new situȧtions but hȧs no previous
