The best children's hospital units are equipped with a playroom or play space that is maintained as a "pain-free" zone. No medical procedures, not even painless ones, should be performed in this area. The nurse should not provide the injection in the playroom. Asking the child and other children if the injection can be given in the playroom violates the "pain-free" zone.
