Question 1 of 5

A nurse is creating a plan of care for a child who has sickle cell anemia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A. Discourage a high level of fluid intake B. Administer meperidine every 4 hr for pain C. Apply cold compresses to painful, swollen joints D. Observe for indications of hypokalemia

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Observe for indications of hypokalemia. In sickle cell anemia, patients are at risk for electrolyte imbalances, including hypokalemia due to dehydration or medication side effects. Monitoring potassium levels can help prevent complications.
Choice A is incorrect because hydration is important to prevent sickle cell crises. Meperidine (choice
B) is not recommended due to risk of toxic metabolite accumulation. Cold compresses (choice
C) can worsen vaso-occlusive crises.
