Question 1 of 5

In providing care for a client with pain from a sickle cell crisis, which one of the following medication orders for pain control should be questioned by the nurse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Demerol. Meperidine is not recommended in clients with sickle cell disease. Normeperidine, a metabolite of meperidine, is a central nervous system stimulant that produces anxiety, tremors, myoclonus, and generalized seizures when it accumulates with repetitive dosing. Clients with sickle cell disease are particularly at risk for normeperidine-induced seizures.
