Question

The nurse is caring for a very anxious child whose pain has not been manageable. the parents stay in the child's room, crying and yelling at each other. grandparents and other family members are also constantly in attendance. to effectively help the child with pain management, which action should be a priority for the nurse?

Answer 1

I think the nurse should not allow the parents to do their crying and yelling or exclude them until the anxious child has calmed down as the child cannot deal with her/his  pain as long she/he is stressed out by the parents behaviour.
