A nurse is preparing to perform a venipuncture on a 4-year-old child. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure atraumatic care?

A. Applying a topical anesthetic cream 1 hour prior to the procedure can help reduce pain and discomfort during venipuncture, ensuring atraumatic care for the child. B. The procedure should not be performed in the playroom, as it may cause distress to the child and create a negative association with that space. C. The presence of a parent during the procedure can provide comfort and support to the child, reducing anxiety and fear. D. Explaining the procedure in detail 3 hours prior may cause unnecessary anxiety. A brief, simple explanation right before the procedure is more appropriate for a 4-year-old.
