This is not going tohurt.” b. “This will hurt like a pinch. I’ll get someone to help hold your arm still so itwill be over fast and hurt less.” c. “Be a big boy and hold still. This will be over in just a second.” d. “I’m sending your mother out so she won’t be scared. You are big, so hold still andthis will be over soon.” ANS: B The nurse can help minimize the pain and stress of the venipuncture by having someone help the child maintain control during the procedure. Threatening the child with having someone hold him or her down is likely to produce less cooperation and frighten the child.Telling a child to be a "big boy" does not acknowledge the child's developmental stage. Parents should be allowed to stay during procedures when possible.
