Question

An 8-year-old child is being discharged after recovery from a sickle cell vaso-occlusive (painful crisis) episode. The nurse teaches the parents the do's and don'ts of the child's care. What statement by the parents satisfies the nurse that they understand the principles of care?

Answer 1

When an 8-year-old child has been discharged after recovery from a disease. The child has to encourage for low-intensity activity. It helps maintain cellular metabolism. If the child will do hard exercise it will lead to metabolism cellular increase that leads to hypoxia result in sickling. But if a tutor is hired for the determinable development of a child will lead to isolation.

Most of the parents discourage the child when doing bed-wetting. So it is very important to note that at that time parents should not discourage the child from bed-wetting because it keeps the child hydrated and prevent the sickling. It is not necessary to stop the child from playing unless other children are infectious. Parents should encourage several peer relationships.
