Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has sickle cell anemia. Which of the following findings is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Facial twitching. This finding is the priority for the nurse to report because it could indicate a neurological complication such as a stroke, which is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of sickle cell anemia. Facial twitching may be an early sign of neurological impairment and requires immediate evaluation by the healthcare provider to prevent further complications.
The other choices are less urgent:
B: Kyphosis - May be related to skeletal changes in sickle cell anemia but is not considered a priority over neurological symptoms.
C: Constipation - Common in sickle cell anemia due to dehydration and pain medications but is not as urgent as a potential neurological complication.
D: Enuresis - Can be a result of sickle cell disease complications, but it is not as critical as a neurological symptom like facial twitching.
