Question 1 of 5
An adolescent experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis reports right knee pain. Which is the most appropriate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administering Acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a recommended analgesic for managing pain during a vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle cell disease. It helps to alleviate pain by reducing inflammation and discomfort. Applying a warm soak (choice
A) can potentially worsen the condition by increasing blood flow to the affected area. Applying a compression wrap (choice
C) may restrict circulation and exacerbate the crisis. Decreasing IV fluids (choice
D) is not indicated unless there is fluid overload. Administering Acetaminophen is the most appropriate choice to address the pain without exacerbating the vaso-occlusive crisis.
