What is the primary focus of an assistant during injection procedures?
What will be an ideal response?
The primary focus of an assistant during injection procedures must be the safety of the child. The clinician administering the injection cannot control gross body movements of the child while injecting. The assistant must respond to any quick and unexpected movements that occur in order to ensure the safety of the child. This can be accomplished through gentle use of passive restraint. The assistant places one hand over the child's hands (which should be placed on their stomach). The other hand is placed on the child's forehead.
