Sickle Cell Anemia

A 7-year-old child with sickle cell anemia is admitted to the pediatric unit with severe pain in the legs and arms. Which nursing intervention should be the priority?

The child appears restless and is crying, stating "my bones hurt so bad." The parents report the child has been drinking less fluid than usual over the past two days due to a mild upper respiratory infection. Laboratory results show hemoglobin 6.8 g/dL and white blood cell count 15,000/mm³.
해설
In a vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), severe pain is the hallmark symptom and the most immediate priority for nursing intervention. Administering prescribed analgesics is essential to relieve pain and to prevent splinting and hypoventilation that can worsen the crisis and precipitate acute chest syndrome. Oxygen therapy is indicated only when hypoxemia is documented (SpO₂ < 95% or signs of respiratory distress); it is not routinely initiated in their absence. Hydration and warm compresses are important supportive measures but are secondary to pain management.
