Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer immunizations to a 3-month-old infant. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take to deliver atraumatic care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - Provide a pacifier coated with an oral sucrose solution prior to the injections.
Rationale: Providing a pacifier coated with an oral sucrose solution helps to reduce pain perception and can soothe the infant during the immunization process. The sweet taste of sucrose triggers the infant's natural pain-relieving mechanisms, leading to decreased discomfort.
Summary of other choices:
A: Injecting the immunizations into the deltoid muscle may cause more pain and discomfort to the infant as this area is more sensitive.
C: Using a 20-gauge needle may increase pain perception due to its larger size, which is not ideal for atraumatic care.
D: Applying EMLA cream may be effective for pain relief, but it is not as quick-acting as providing oral sucrose solution before the injections.
