The nurse would expect to administer this drug for a sickle-cell pain crisis
1. Morphine sulfate (Duramorph)
2. Meperidine (Demerol)
3. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
4. Ibuprofen (Advil)
Answer:1
Rationale: The pain during a sickling crisis is severe,and morphine is needed for pain control around the clock or by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Meperidine is not used for pain control for clients with sickle-cell pain crisis because it could cause seizures. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen are used for mild pain and would not be effective for the severe pain experienced by a child in sickle-cell pain crisis.
