Which medication should the nurse expect to administer to a child with an acute sickle cell pain crisis?
- A. Meperidine (Demerol)
- B. Morphine
- C. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- D. Ibuprofen (Motrin)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In the management of acute sickle cell pain crisis in children, morphine is the preferred medication due to its effectiveness in providing pain relief. Meperidine (Demerol) is less commonly used in this scenario because of its potential for neurotoxicity with repeated doses. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Motrin) are not typically sufficient for managing the severe pain associated with sickle cell crises and are not the first-line treatment options.
