Sarah is a 14-year-old girl about to get her HPV vaccine. The nurse working with Sarah knows that, as a nurse, she should:

1. Explain that the vaccine is very important and all of her friends are receiving it.
2. Explain the injection procedure and provide information about the HPV vaccine on her level.
3. Use language such as pokie and owwie to describe the possible pain of the injection.
4. Allow her to text while the injection is occurring so that Sarah is distracted in order to help reduce the pain of the injection.

Feedback
1. This is not being truthful to the patient and should be avoided.
2. Appropriate answer
3. The terms can be used for younger children. A teenager is beyond this language level.
4. Distraction works, but texting is not appropriate because it requires two hands, thus the nurse would have difficulty administering the vaccine correctly.
