Question

You are caring for an eight-year-old who is in the emergency room with need for a closed-reduction of an arm fracture. The on-call orthopedic physician will be performing the procedure using conscious sedation. You are about to move the child to a different room to start an IV when the child's father asks you if you think that they should be seeking a second opinion. Because you know that families often feel the need to protect loved ones during hospitalization, what would your first response be to the parent?
