A school-aged child undergoing a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse understands that which of the following interventions is the MOST effective at relieving pain and discomfort during a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy for a school-aged child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Assisting with conscious/unconscious sedation. This is the most effective intervention as it can provide both pain relief and relaxation for the child during the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy procedure. Sedation helps to reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain perception, making the procedure more tolerable for the child. Lidocaine cream (choice
A) may provide some local anesthesia but may not be sufficient for the deep pain associated with the procedure. Relaxation techniques (choice
B) may help with anxiety but may not address the physical pain adequately. Administering acetaminophen (choice
D) may help with mild pain but is not as effective as sedation for a more invasive procedure like a bone marrow aspiration.
