This clinical simulation describes the assessment, management, and evaluation of interventions for a 16-year-old adolescent, Luke Ronson, who experiences an early-stage of a vaso-occlusive episode due to sickle cell disease.

It also details the case of David Houston, age 11, who has a less predictable case of sickle cell disease and who reports to the emergency department complaining of severe pain in his abdomen, both arms, and left leg. This case study provides a realistic exemplar that the participant can incorporate into a pain assessment framework, use to choose age-appropriate interventions, and model when applying established outcome evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the interventions. The learner will choose from various evaluation strategies to determine which interventions are most effective. Principles of family-centered care are threaded throughout the case to illustrate the critical nature of family involvement in managing a child's pain.
