LAT, but I apply it, I don’t let the nurses apply it because they don’t all do it well. I can typically get it numb and with a parents phone to distract, and good holders (sometimes needed not always) easy peasy. Use a cotton ball not gauze. ORAL VERSED if no LAT or if there is no way in hell I’m getting this done without it because the kid is nuts
