Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C, D

Fever, vomiting, and altitude are some of the precipitating factors that contribute to a sickle cell crisis. Regular exercise and increased fluid intake are recommended activities for a child with sickle cell disease and will not contribute to a sickle cell crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

In many cultures, accepting a disease like fibromyalgia may be difficult due to the vagueness of the disease. Information and written literature may help the family understand that the disease is real. The physician orders medication and diets. There is no proof that exercise, or lack thereof, causes fibromyalgia.
