A 2-year-old toddler fell onto a coffee table and has a laceration under his chin. He is screaming frantically and struggles to move away when you try to look at his injury. To gain his cooperation, you should:

A) tell him that if he doesn't stop crying, his mommy will have to leave the room.
B) ask the mother to hold his arms and head still.
C) see if he has a favorite toy or stuffed animal that will help comfort him.
D) tell him he won't have to get stitches if he will let you look at his cut.
