(Time Required)
• Encourage the support person to
provide physical comfort measures
such as wiping the brow, giving sips
of water or ice, fanning, and rubbing
the adolescent’s back.
• Remind the support person to take
breaks, nourishment, and fluids. This
will enable her/him to give the
adolescent what she needs.
• Avoid sending the support person out
of the room during examinations
and/or procedures unless the
adolescent wants the person to
leave. The support person can help
the adolescent to not focus on the
exam or procedure.
