A nurse needs to obtain a urine sample from a 6-year-old patient. She asks the child to "tinkle" in a paper cup. The child stares at her, confused. How could the nurse clarify her message to the child?
The child may not have heard the word tinkle used to refer to urination. Even if the child understands "tinkle," the idea of urinating into a paper cup may seem absurd to a child who has never had a urine sample taken. The child may wonder why the nurse wants him to do this. The nurse could say something like, "What do you call it when you go to the bathroom? Tinkle? Pee-pee?" After finding a word the child understands, she could continue, "The doctor can look at your pee-pee to see if your body is working right. Will you please pee-pee in the cup so the doctor can see it?"
