I always dread the questions like, “am I gonna die? How long have I got left? Is this gonna hurt?” what should I do in these situations?

Clinical Nurse Specialist: Be honest with the child or young person. If something is going to hurt tell them, but also make them see beyond it, “yes it will hurt but, it will be a step closer to going home”

Play Specialist: Talk to the child or young person but listen to them as well. They might have preconceived ideas and thoughts that are not true.
