Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The client with sickle cell disease (SCD) has recently been sick and is now experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis. Which priority interventions should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Maintaining IV fluids, administering pain medications, and providing supplemental oxygen are critical interventions that address the acute needs of the client in crisis, aiming to alleviate pain and improve oxygenation. Encouraging frequent ambulation is not appropriate during a vaso-occlusive crisis, as it can exacerbate pain and further compromise blood flow. While monitoring the RBC count is important, it is not the most immediate intervention during a crisis. Treating the client in an outpatient setting is inappropriate during a vaso-occlusive crisis, which typically requires inpatient care for effective pain management and hydration.
