TEACHES
Hi! My name is Beary. My doctor wanted to learn more about me today.
My doctor asked my nurse to take some of my blood from my arm. This is called a blood test.
First, my nurse put this rubber band on my arm. It felt tight, but it helped find a good place for my blood test.
My nurse used her fingers to push down softly on my arm.
Then, to make all of the germs go away, my nurse cleaned with a sponge. It felt cold and wet.
I felt a poke when my nurse took my blood. But that feeling went away fast.
The bumble bee on my arm is Buzzy. He buzzed and tickled to help my poke hurt less.
My blood went through a soft tube.
Once the poke was done, my nurse gave me a band-aid.
I felt a little scared to have my blood taken, but my grownup gave me a big hug and helped me to take big breaths. My nurse told me that I did a great job staying as still as a statue!
