When there is either a partial or complete tearing on ligaments that are responsible for supporting the joint of the ankle then it causes an ankle sprain.
Based on the exam findings as well as the loss in functionality of the ankle, an ankle sprain can be categorized as grade I, II or III.
In the given situation the 14-year-old girl has a grade II ankle sprain which is characterized by an incomplete tear of the ligaments along with moderate pain (as she rates it 5/10), moderate tenderness, loss of range of some functions, and swelling.
All of the characteristics of the sprain resemble those of the grade II ankle sprain tear and hence, it is characterized as a grade II ankle sprain.

A patient with sickle cell crisis will most likely complain of severe pain.

A patient with sickle cell disease have an abnormal amino acid composition of hemoglobin, leading to a comformational change to insoluble proteins whenever the red blood cell is deoxygenated; this leads to a change in shape from biconcave to sickle shaped. In sickle cell crisis, the abnormal RBC clump together (easily, because of their shape) then obstruct small blood vessels in the extremities and other organs, causing severe pain.
