The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice of juice tgo

drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschool child shoulgd b

a. Female, multiple siblings, stable home life ! ! ! ! !

c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries ! ! ! ! ! !
d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious previous injuries ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral characteristics, a higgh a
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
ctivity temperament is associated with risk-! ! ! ! !
gtaking behaviors, and stress predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
gdestructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environment g
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low risk. A boy witgh
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuries. A girl who reacts neggat
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
ively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk gfactor.
