1. Promote comfort and keep the child pain-free

Rationale:
The major goal for the dying child is to promote comfort and keep the child pain-free by providing analgesia to promote optimal pain relief. Maintaining a good relationship is important but not a major goal for the child's care. Keeping the child entertained is good, but the child needs to voice her feelings about death and dying. A dying child does not have the energy to maintain a busy schedule.
