Psychological Preparation

 Lincoln  is a 5-year-old who is admitted to the ER following a fall from his bunk  bed. The primary health care provider has ordered a X-ray. Lincoln is  worried and keeps asking, “When can I go home? What are you going to do  to me? Don’t hurt me.” Watch Jessica Lewin’s demonstration of CCLS  preparation for
