B
Feedback:
A mitt or glove prevents the child from scratching or pulling on tubes. A papoose board is used for brief procedures such as starting an IV line, because it is uncomfortable. An armboard is used to protect IV sites, and a mummy restraint is used to restrain the entire body with a blanket.
