Just print and hang it wherever it would be useful to you, for providers, your patients. You can also print out the comfort poke plan worksheet that kids can fill themselves or with the help of an adult. There is also the comfort positioning guide, the guide to topical anesthetics (aka numbing cream). The video about how to use vibration also goes well with this!
