The nurse is implementing interventions to prevent physical stressors for a 9-year-old child receiving chemotherapy in the hospital. How will the nurse provide atraumatic care for this child?

Have the parent stand near and/or rub the child's feet during the procedure.

Use restraint or "holding down" of the child during the procedure to prevent injury.

Insert a saline lock if the child will require multiple doses of parenteral medications.

Avoid using numbing techniques for multiple blood draws or IV insertion.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.   Having the parent stand near and providing comfort measures, is not correct because it may not be enough to comfort the child or reduce anxiety during the procedure.
B.   Using restraint or holding down the child during a procedure can increase anxiety, distress, and trauma, and is not recommended.
C.   A saline lock is a device that allows access to a vein without having to insert a needle each time. This can reduce the number of painful procedures and lower the risk of infection or inflammation.
D.   Numbing techniques can help reduce pain and discomfort during procedures and are typically used to enhance atraumatic care, especially for repeated procedures like blood draws or IV insertion. Therefore, avoiding them may not be beneficial.
