Question 1 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C

This intervention should be implemented first to reduce the toddler's anxiety and fear, promote trust, and increase cooperation during the injection. By providing a clear explanation in simple language, the nurse can help the toddler understand what will happen, which can help alleviate stress. Gathering supplies (
B) and assessing vital signs (
D) are important but should come after establishing communication with the toddler. Restraint (
