Answer - c
The nurse should administer an immunization for a 4-year-old
child using a 24-gauge needle to minimize the amount of pain
experienced by the toddler.
A- The nurse should place the child in an upright sitting
position for the immunization because this decreases the
child's fear and anxiety.
B- The nurse should allow the caregiver to stay near the
child during the immunization to provide a sense of security
and reduce the child's anxiety level. D- The nurse should
inject the immunization rapidly and avoid aspiration. These
actions decrease the risk of needle displacement and lower
the child's fear and anxiety level by decreasing the amount
of time it takes to administer the immunization.
