Consejos para ayudar a su hijo a sobrellevar las pruebas de laboratorio
La extracción de sangre para una prueba de laboratorio en general no es muy divertido para cualquier persona, pero para los niños, puede ser una experiencia aterradora. Tener un padre o cuidador comprensión para ayudarlos en el proceso es vital para un niño confundido. Los siguientes son algunos consejos para ayudar a su hijo a prepararse para el examen de laboratorio y para conseguir a través de la extracción de sangre propia.
Preparar - Dígale a su hijo cómo la sangre se obtendrán. Sea honesto y deje que su niño sepa que le hará daño, pero sólo por un minuto. Compartir con el niño que la extracción de sangre es difícil incluso para los adultos puede hacer que el procedimiento sea menos intimidante.
Práctica ? Aliente al niño a hacer un procedimiento de laboratorio con un muñeco o peluche favoritos, menciona Alegría Goldberger, MS, CCLS, coordinadora de educación para el Departamento de Niños en el Centro infantil Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Maryland.
Soborno ? Oferta llevar a su hijo a tomar un helado después, u ofrecer otra recompensa de los que dispondría.
Estancia ? Plan de quedarse con su hijo durante la prueba de laboratorio. Es probable que su mera presencia puede ayudar a calmar al niño. También considerar la posibilidad de un libro favorito para leer mientras que la muestra se está tomando, o cantar una canción juntos.
