Document Content and Description Below
Introduction and Etiology Mary, a 7-year-old African-American girl, was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia (SCA) when she was five months old. She is now in the custody of Child Protective Services ... (CPS) because her 24-year-old mother died in a car accident two weeks ago. The biological father moved out of state when Mary was 10-months-old. Mary's mother was not married to the father and Mary has never met him. When Mary's paternal grandmother, Earlene, is informed that she has a 7- year-old granddaughter, she immediately agrees to care for Mary. Earlene is a waitress and lives alone in a middle-class neighborhood in a small town about 85 miles from where Mary currently lives. Before placing Mary in a new home, CPS evaluates Earlene's physical, financial, and psychological ability to care for Mary. Earlene is not familiar with SCA. A nurse from CPS meets with her to discuss Mary's health condition. Earlene asks the nurse, "I have heard of sickle cell anemia and I know it can be very bad, but I don't know exactly what it is." What is the best response by the nurse to Earlene's statement? [Show More]
