About this Procedure

How to Prepare

Sometimes there are things you can do that may positively affect your outcome. Here are some examples. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your provider.

On the Day of the Procedure

  • Explain the procedure in language your child understands, using plain words. Avoid abstract terms.
  • Make sure your child understands the exact body part involved in the test, and that the procedure will be limited to that area.
  • Try to describe how the test will feel.
  • If the procedure affects a part of the body that your child needs for a certain function (such as speaking, hearing, or urinating), explain what changes will occur afterwards.
  • Give your child permission to yell, cry, or express pain in another way using sounds or words. Encourage your child to tell you where the pain is located.
  • Allow your child to practice the positions or movements that will be needed for the procedure, such as the fetal position for a lumbar puncture.
  • Stress the benefits of the procedure. Talk about things that the child may find pleasurable after the test, such as feeling better or going home. You may want to take your child for ice cream or some other treat afterwards, but do not make the treat a condition of "being good" for the test.
  • Allow your child to make simple choices, such as what color bandage to use after the procedure.
  • Distract your child with books, songs, or a simple activity such as blowing bubbles.
