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

uice to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschoolc
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
hild should be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase an
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
xiety. The family should be allowed to stay with the child during procedures, minimizing stress.

Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use theprescribe ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic

ANS: B ci
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral characteristics,
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a high activity temperament is associated with risk-
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
taking behaviors, and stress predisposes children toincreased risk taking and self-
ci ci ci ci ci ci ic ci ci ci ci
destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environ

ment has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblingsand a stable home life is low ris
