As an advocate for the child undergoing bone-marrow aspiration, the nurse would most appropriately suggest
1. General anesthesia.
2. Conscious sedation.
3. Intravenous narcotics ten minutes before the procedure.
4. Oral pain medication for discomfort after the procedure.

2... For the child undergoing repeated procedures, it is important for the child to be sedated prior to and during the initial procedure. General anesthesia is not necessary for bone-marrow aspiration. Narcotics alone will not provide appropriate sedation to keep the child from remembering the procedure. While oral pain medication postprocedure is not inappropriate if discomfort exists, it is not the best answer. The child will have great anxiety and discomfort during the procedures and prior to future procedures.
