Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
The nursing management of sickle-cell anemia is to manage pain and prevent sickling. This type of management is accomplished by adequate hydration, oxygenation, adequate nutrition, rest, medications, management of fever and complications, and use of transfusions. Restricting fluids and calories could be detrimental to the client's recovery. The client should be encouraged to rest and not engage in activity.

Answer to Question 2

3
Secondary care facilities provide emergent and intermediate care. Education for a healthy lifestyle would be provided through a preventive care agency. Complex treatment would be provided through a quaternary care agency. Physical therapy would be provided through a restorative care agency.
