Yоu hаve received аn exаminatiоn request fоr a pediatric wrist and hand radiograph. The examination history states that the child caught their hand in a fan. The child’s hand shows soft tissue swelling but no cuts or abrasions. The patient is brought to you with the mother, who is quite distraught and upset over the injury. As you proceed to begin taking images, how would you effectively handle the parent in this situation?
