Abstract:
Nurses are being bombarded with recommended interventions to help children and their parents manage procedures. In order to select effective and appropriate interventions, nurses should carefully review the literature related to these recommendations. In turn, nurses must also document their care of children during procedures so that interventions selected can be examined, validated, and reinforced.
