The nurse is caring for a 5-year-old hospitalized child who needs to have blood drawn for the third time. When the lab technician arrives, the child says to the nurse, You can't take my blood, my mama isn't here.
 
   The child's caregiver is not in the hospital and is not expected to return for several hours. Of the following actions by the nurse, which action would be best for the nurse to do in this situation?
  A) Check with the floor administrator to see if the blood draw can wait until the caregiver returns.
  B) Recognize the statement is a stalling technique, reassure the child, and continue with the procedure.
  C) Tell the child that if he will let the phlebotomist take his blood without putting up a fuss he will get a lollipop.
  D) Remind him that he has said that before and that he knows that the blood must be taken.
