Venepuncture is one of the minor medical procedures that are performed and cause acute pain in children (Sikorova & Hrazdilova, 2011). Venepuncture is the second most common procedure that can cause moderate to severe pain in children (Stevens et  al., 2011), and Hartling et al. (2013) stated that venepuncture and intravenous infusion are the most common procedures in the emergency department.
