Answer:

  • pain
  • delayed growth
  • frequent infections

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic and hereditary disease, prevalent in blacks, but may also manifest in whites. It is characterized by a change in red blood cells, which lose their round and elastic shape, take on the appearance of a sickle (hence the sickle cell name) and harden, making it difficult for blood to pass through small vessels and, consequently, tissue oxygenation.

The most common symptoms are:

  • Severe pain caused by blockage of blood flow and lack of oxygen in tissues;
  • Joint pains;
  • Intense fatigue;
  • Pallor and jaundice;
  • Delayed growth;
  • Leg sores;
  • Tendency to infections;
  • Gallstones;
  • Neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal problems;
  • Priapism

Common symptoms of sickle cell disease include episodes of pain, delayed growth, and frequent infections. Red blood cells, as we all know, deliver oxygen to supply on different parts of the body. However, red blood cells in sickle cell disease are deprived of oxygen, which also causes deprivation of oxygen in the muscles or organs that leads to pain and fatigue. This will also cause delayed growth because red blood cells carries nutrients needed for growth. Since this disease damages organs such as spleen which protects the body from infection, it will cause frequent infections.

For each scenario listed below , is a collaborative or individual decision appropriate ? explain your answer
Liula [17]

Answer:

Deciding whether to build a new baseball diamond at a nearby park : collaborative decision

-Deciding which college to attend after high school : individual decision

-Deciding how to best help a friend struggling with depression - collaborative decision

Explanation: In instances when individual decision is appropriate, the consequences of making the decision is borne by the individual making the decision, he/she enjoys the benefits, and if there are any negative results of the decision, he/she suffers these alone.

When choosing a college, the decision should be made individually for this reason.

This does not apply to deciding where to build a new baseball park, the person in charge of such a project needs to consult with other members of the community and arrive at a consensus, this is when every member agrees with the decision.

Deciding how best to help a friend should be a collaborative decision because of the risks involved. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain and should be treated by a medical professional. Unless, you are a medical professional, you need to include your friend's family, other friends and people you believe can advise your friend to seek the professional help he/she needs.
