  Annette Moore-Mitchell, MSN, RN, CMSRN, suggests removing distractions and assessing to be sure patients are ready to listen before beginning any teaching session related to their condition and care.

  “When patients are fully informed, it helps relieve anxiety and uncertainty,” said Annette Moore-Mitchell, MSN, RN, CMSRN, clinical instructor of nursing at Oklahoma City University in Oklahoma.

  Children require special attention to decrease stress levels. Not only must parents understand the plan of care, the patient and siblings also want to know what is happening. Child life specialists at Children’s Medical Center Dallas provide supportive care by using developmentally appropriate education, preparation and therapeutic activities to improve patients’ emotional well-being.
