A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for an adolescent client who has sickle cell anemia and is experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A. Meperidine is not recommended for pain management in sickle cell crisis due to the risk of seizures and neurotoxicity. Fever should be managed with antipyretics like acetaminophen. B. Increasing, not decreasing, daily oral fluid intake is important to help reduce blood viscosity and prevent further sickling of red blood cells. C. Maintaining bed rest helps to reduce oxygen demand and prevent hypoxemia, which can exacerbate the vaso-occlusive crisis. D. Applying cold compresses is not recommended as it can cause vasoconstriction and worsen the pain. Warm compresses are more appropriate for managing pain in sickle cell crisis.
