Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allowing the child to express emotions such as crying or screaming is considered appropriate as it acknowledges the child's fear or discomfort without forcing them to suppress their feelings. This approach respects the child's emotional response to a potentially stressful situation. Other options may not be as effective or could potentially increase the child's anxiety or negative association with medical procedures.
