title: Student voice - Questioning others as a child's advocate.
abstract: RECENTLY I WAS involved in a situation in which I was asked to assist two staff nurses in an invasive procedure with a young child. Initially, I held the child down as instructed to do by the staff nurses. The child became distressed, so I asked the nurses to stop the procedure and to give the child a break.
