Strategies to help a preoperative pediatric client feel less anxious prior to a surgical procedure include taking the client on a tour of the operating room, allowing the client to bring a toy or stuffed animal, allowing the parents to stay with the client as much as possible, using age-appropriate explanations, and responding to questions in a straightforward manner. Having a chaplain say a prayer with the child is good, but it may not be age appropriate.
