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.

when developing a patient's plan of care, which contributing factors would the nurse identify as affecting the anxiety level of
suter [353]

The factors would the nurse identify as affecting the anxiety level of patients admitted to the intensive care unit is pain, intubation and immobilization .

<h3>What is meant by intubation?</h3>

A medical professional will intubate a patient by inserting a tube into their mouth or nose and then into their trachea, or windpipe. The tube maintains the trachea's opening, allowing air to pass through. A device that distributes air or oxygen can be connected to the tube.

Now, as a general rule, an endotracheal tube or breathing tube is typically left in your loved one's throat or larynx for up to two weeks at most, unless there are specific and uncommon conditions.

As a result of intubation, the majority of people only experience minor side effects including a sore throat and hoarseness. Some people don't even know they were intubated because they exhibit no symptoms.

To learn more about intubation refer to:

brilliants [131]

Answer:

b) blastic red blood cell (RBC).

Explanation:

In excess of 340 blood group antigens have now been described that vary between individuals. Thus, any unit of blood that is nonautologous represents a significant dose of alloantigen. Most blood group antigens are proteins, which differ by a single amino acid between donors and recipients. Approximately 1 out of every 70 individuals are transfused each year (in the United States alone), which leads to antibody responses to red blood cell <u>(RBC) alloantigens</u> in some transfusion recipients. When alloantibodies are formed, in many cases, RBCs expressing the antigen in question can no longer be safely transfused. However, despite chronic transfusion, only 3% to 10% of recipients (in general) mount an alloantibody response. In some disease states, rates of alloimmunization are much higher (eg, sickle cell disease). For patients who become alloimmunized to multiple antigens, ongoing transfusion therapy becomes increasingly difficult or, in some cases, impossible. While alloantibodies are the ultimate immune effector of humoral alloimmunization, the cellular underpinnings of the immune system that lead to ultimate alloantibody production are complex, including antigen consumption, antigen processing, antigen presentation, T-cell biology.
