Jedd is a 7 year old currently hospitalized with a new diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. Prior to his admission Jedd complained of blurred vision, fatigue and despite eating and drinking constantly, had started to lose weight, so parents brought him into the clinic. A point of care test in the clinic revealed a blood glucose of 418. Jedd is currently in 2nd grade, with age appropriate growth and development, and enjoys playing soccer with his friends through a local athletic association. Jedd lives with his parents Amy and Grace and his 2 siblings Johna (3 years old) and Henry (10 years old). Please answer the questions 17-20 based on Jedd’s information. Jedd screams and cries everytime he needs blood sugars drawn or insulin injections. What is your best action as his nurse to ensure atraumatic care?
