Your 18-month-old patient has been brought to the
treatment room for insertion of an IV. Her mother
is upset and her eyes are filled with tears as she
carries her infant down the hall. She asks if she can
stay with her infant. Your best response is:
a. “You can stay but if you become upset your
toddler may become more frightened and
uncooperative.”
b. “I notice you are very upset. It may be best if you
wait outside. I will be quick and get you as soon
as we are finished.”
c. “That will be helpful as you can help hold your
infant still during the procedure.”
d. “You can stay close to your infant and help me
and my team calm her as I start the IV.”

breakfast and give your child a bath?”
b. “Would you like me to organize the items you
will need for morning care?”
c. “What care would you like me to provide for
your child today?”
d. “Your child has a busy day ahead of her. Would
you like to bathe her early?”
