A child who has sickle cell anemia after an acute crisis episode
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is discharging a child who has sickle cell anemia after an acute crisis episode. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Offer fluids to your child multiple times every day. This is important for a child with sickle cell anemia to stay hydrated, prevent dehydration, and decrease the risk of a sickle cell crisis. Hydration helps maintain the flow of blood and prevents the sickle-shaped cells from clumping together. Monitoring temperature (choice
A) is important, but hydration is more critical in preventing crises. Applying cold compresses (choice
B) may worsen vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia. Restricting outdoor play (choice
C) is unnecessary as long as the child stays well-hydrated.
