Administering and evaluating the effectiveness of opioid analgesics when client is in severe pain with sickle cell .

Sickle cell is an inherited disease in which the red blood cells have an abnormal crescent shape, block small blood vessels, and do not last as long as normal red blood cells.

Main cause of SCD is a defective gene, called a sickle cell gene. People with the disease are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. If a person is born with one sickle cell gene, it's called sickle cell trait. The liver, heart, kidneys, gallbladder, eyes, bones, and joints can suffer damage from the abnormal function of the sickle cells and their inability to flow through the small blood vessels correctly.

Question 15 (4 points)

Answer:

Standard <u>anatomical </u> position is the agreed-upon reference for body position when studying anatomy (option 2).

Explanation:

Anatomical position consists of the placement of the human body for its anatomical study, following certain norms established and accepted by convention.

  • <em>The body is observed from its front face. </em>
  • <em>The members must be extended, showing their ventral surface and with a slight separation from the rest of the body. </em>
  • <em>The hands show the palms, while the feet are hyperextended showing their backs. </em>

This position is useful to provide the description of any area of the body in a specific posture, and that can be understood even by those who do not observe.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     1) </em><u><em>Histological</em></u><em>, refers to the study of cells and tissues. </em>

<em>     3) </em><u><em>Superior</em></u><em>, is a directional term, indicating something located at the top of the body or closer to the head. </em>

<em>     4) </em><u><em>Mnemonic</em></u><em> refers to the association of words used to remember names or lists of names.</em>
