Answers:

Tell the nurse that shots make you nervous and do not watch as you get the shot. If you're getting a shot in the shoulder dangle your arm "like an elephants trunk." Seriously. Let it hang as loose as it can. That relaxes the muscle even if you're nervous. If the shot is in the butt bend your knee on the side that will get the shot or if laying down turn your feet so your toes point inward, pigeon toed. That relaxes the butt muscle that the shot goes in. If they let you bring an iPod then listen to your favorite music when the lab draws your blood. And always tell your self "I can do this. It will be over soon."
