Sickle Cell Crisis Nursing Interventions

1) The patient presented with acute pain due to a sickle cell crisis as evidenced by a pain scale of 6/10. 2) Nursing interventions included maintaining adequate fluid intake, applying heat, encouraging relaxation techniques, and administering medications as ordered to relieve the patient's pain. 3) After 6 hours of nursing interventions, the patient was able to verbalize relief of pain with a decreased pain scale of 4/10 and return of vital signs to normal ranges.
