Scenario Analysis Questions1
EBP What is the relationship between fluid and oxygen therapy in the treatment of sickle cell
anemia?
Increasing fluids helps thin the blood so that the clumps of sickled cells are able to disperse and
oxygenated blood is able to move past and reach all areas of the patient’s body.
EBP What complications might Brittany Long face if her symptoms are not recognized and treated in
a timely manner?
If the pain in her leg is not treated, her tissues will not receive the oxygen they need because the blood
cannot get through and the extremity will start to get necrotic.
EBP What methods of pain management did you use and what other methods should be considered
for Brittany Long, based on the latest evidence-based practice?
This patient was treated with acetaminophen and morphine. Other methods could be utilized to treat
her pain, such as applying heat to the extremity, physical therapy, relaxation techniques, guided
imagery, pet therapy and distraction techniques.
PCC/I What discharge teaching should be provided to assist Brittany Long’s mother with her home
care?
Her mother needs to be aware of the warning signs to look out for as well as have analgesics on hand for
pain management.
