A child with sickle cell anemia admitted for treatment of vaso-occlusive crisis
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing a health care provider's prescriptions for a child with sickle cell anemia who was admitted to the hospital for the treatment of vaso-occlusive crisis. Which prescription documented in the child's chart should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Restrict fluid intake. During a vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle cell anemia, it is important to maintain adequate hydration to prevent further sickling of the red blood cells. Restricting fluid intake can lead to dehydration, which can exacerbate the crisis. Positioning for comfort (
A), avoiding strain on painful joints (
C), and applying nasal oxygen at 2 L/minute (
D) are all appropriate interventions to manage vaso-occlusive crisis and should not be questioned by the nurse.
