You are caring for a 17-year-old female patient with sickle cell disease who has been admitted for treatment of sickle cell crisis. Sickle cell disease is a genetic abnormality that affects hemoglobin in the red blood cells. In a sickle cell crisis weakened red blood cells clump together and impede blood flow, causing extreme pain. To prevent stroke and manage the pain of the crisis, your patient needs aggressive fluid and comfort management. At the change-of-shift report, you learn that,...

Sickle-cell Anemia Study Sickle-cell anemia or Sickle-cell disease, is a hereditary disorder. characterized by aryabnormality in the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in erythrocytes. Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. The sickle cell defect is a mutation of a single nucleotide of the hemoglobin B gene, which results in glutamic acid being substituted by a different amino acid at position 6. Hemoglobin with this mutation is referred to as Hbs, as opposed to the normal hemoglobin HbA....
