BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is primarily characterized by pain. This chronic pain with acute exacerbations is the most common reason for hospital visits, admissions, and readmissions, particularly in young adults (aged 18–39 years). People who present to the hospital for pain crises often report that nurses lack knowledge of SCD and, consequently, they do not provide appropriate, timely care. OBJECTIVES: Because pain episodes often result in hospital admissions, this article highlights prominent issues that staff nurses need to know. METHODS: Using a review of the literature and case studies, the authors provide recommendations to improve care of adults with SCD. FINDINGS: No objective signs of a sickle cell pain crisis exist. ...
