TOPIC 1: SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
10 Questions • 8.4% of Exam • This topic covers the symptoms, diagnosis, and management of sickle cell anemia.
QUESTION 1
Bacterial Prostatitis
Answer: •
•Note: The etiology of urethral discharge or difficulty voiding can include acute and chronic prostatitis and prostatic
abscess. Young adult males in their 20s usually have acute prostatitis from gonorrhea or other bacterial infections.
•The rectal examination should be performed gently because vigorous manipulation of the prostate can result in
septicemia. Therefore, prostatic massage is contraindicated.
•Acute bacterial prostatitis is always associated with a UTI and has a characteristically abrupt onset. Fever, chills, low
back pain, tenesmus, and urinary complaints typical of UTI are common.
QUESTION 2
Inflammatory bowel disease
Answer: •Results in friability, erosions, and bleeding.

QUESTION 4
Sickle cell anemia s/s
Answer: Abdominal pain, pallor, and tachycardia are all manifestations of splenic sequestration. Early recognition of
splenic sequestration can be a lifesaving skill. Parents can be taught to recognize signs of increasing anemia and enlarging
spleen. Part of the educational plan for parents is teaching them how to recognize increasing abdominal girth or
abdominal pain, as well as how to palpate the spleen. The gold standard for definitive diagnosis of sickle cell anemia is a
hemoglobin electrophoresis, a test that determines the presence of hemoglobin S. Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal
recessive disorder, which means both parents must have the gene to pass it on to the child.
QUESTION 5
Fecal occult blood test
Answer: •Tests for fecal occult blood should be done on all clients suspected of having iron deficiency anemia.
QUESTION 6
•Sickle cell anemia: The gold standard for definitive diagnosis of sickle cell anemia
Answer: Is a hemoglobin electrophoresis, a test that determines the presence of hemoglobin S. A client with sickle cell
anemia has a decreased hematocrit level and sickle-shaped cells on the smear.
QUESTION 7
Overactive Bladder
Answer: Syndrome of symptoms that include urgency, frequency, and nocturia, all of which are associated with
involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle.
QUESTION 8
Erectile dysfunction
Answer: •Perform a medication history to determine if one of those could be causing the ED
•The following medications have been shown to cause ED: antiandrogens, antihypertensives such as beta blockers and
central sympatholytics (reserpine), anticholinergics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, central nervous system depressants,
and drugs of abuse such as alcohol, tobacco, and heroin.
