An 8-year-old child who has sickle cell anemia and is recovering from a vaso-occlusive crisis

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old child who has sickle cell anemia and is recovering from a vaso-occlusive crisis. Which of the following precautions should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?

A. Drink eight glass of fluid daily. B. Maintain an updated hemophilus influence type b immunisation C. Avoid playground activities at school D. Assume postural drainage positions every 6 hrs

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Drink eight glasses of fluid daily. This is crucial for children with sickle cell anemia to prevent dehydration, which can trigger vaso-occlusive crises. Adequate hydration helps maintain blood flow and prevent sickling of red blood cells. Maintaining an updated hemophilus influenzae type b immunization (choice
B) is important for preventing infections but is not directly related to vaso-occlusive crises. Avoiding playground activities at school (choice
C) is unnecessary as long as the child is careful and stays hydrated. Assuming postural drainage positions every 6 hours (choice
D) is not relevant for sickle cell anemia management.
