The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a
ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
choice ofjuice to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of

l ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
control. The preschoolchild should be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of
ml ml m
l ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
procedures would increase anxiety. The family should be allowed to stay with the child during
ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
procedures, minimizing stress. ml ml
Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use the

they are unable to comprehend danger to self or others. Young and middle school-aged children

have transitional cognitive processes, and they may attempt dangerous acts without detailed

ANS: B ml
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral
ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
characteristics, a high activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and stress
ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
predisposes children toincreased risk taking and self-destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male
ml ml m
l ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environment has the highest number of
ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
risk factors. A girl with several siblingsand a stable home life is low risk. A boy with previous
ml ml ml ml ml ml m
l ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml ml
injuries has two risk factors, but an even temperis not a risk factor for injuries. A girl who
