Ati nur209 pediatrics final assessment proctored exam 2025
A nurse is assessing a child who is in sickle cell crisis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Constipation → Not a typical finding; dehydration may cause constipation, but pain is more critical. B. Pain → The hallmark of sickle cell crisis is severe pain due to vaso-occlusion, which blocks blood flow to tissues. C. High fever → Fever may occur with infection, but it is not a primary symptom of vaso-occlusive crisis. D. Bradycardia → Tachycardia (not bradycardia) is more likely due to pain and hypoxia.
