With the exception of skin that is diaphoretic, the primary assessment indicates no life threats to the airway, breathing, or circulation. He has a history of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and is allergic to sulfa-based
medications. Vital signs are pulse 92, respirations 20, blood pressure 130/66, and SpO2 95% on room air. What action would make you intervene immediately? A) "Since I am not having chest pain, I am not going to take my nitroglycerin." B) "I am going to check my blood sugar with my own glucometer." C) "I am going to leave my home oxygen on 2 liters since it seems to have helped my breathing." D) "I am going to take my daily aspirin since I did not take it this morning."

He was started on NS IV fluids and morphine was administered for the pain. PMH—aside from the sickle cell disease, his past medical history is unremarkable. FH/SH—Both parents are alive and well. He has no siblings. He is not married. No known relatives with a history of sickle cell disease. Vital signs—T – 101.4 P – 89 R – 18 BP – 112/66 O2 sats – 90% on room air.

Limited ROM in both elbows. GU—Normal male. Rectal exam deferred. Impression: Sickle cell crisis. I am also concerned about the crackles, rales, and diminished breath sounds in the lungs. There could be a pneumonia starting. Plan: Admit for treatment of the sickle cell crisis. Get a CXR to see what is going on in the lungs.
