....should the nurse prioritize in the teaching plan?

The nurse should prioritize teaching the parents about the signs and symptoms of a sickle cell crisis, and how to administer pain medication, oxygen therapy and hydration as needed.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder that can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other complications. The parents should be aware of the signs of a sickle cell crisis, such as severe pain, difficulty breathing, and fever, so that they can take appropriate action to provide relief for the child.
