Roslyn is complaining of severe pain. She is 6 years old and has been placed in public school for the first time. Now she is complaining of her legs hurting. She is so excited about being in school finally, but her parents report that she is not participating in play time, seems weaker, and is pale. She is diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, parents undergo genetic testing as well as all her siblings and it is found that she is the only child with the disease.
Once the crisis is over what education will you provide to Roslyn and her parents?
Discharge teaching should include?
Is it appropriate that Roslyn stay in school? What about activities?
