Which new assessment finding in a client with sickle cell disease who currently is in crisis does the nurse report immediately to the health care provider?

The answer is facial drooping on the right side. The rationale behind this is all existing assessment findings are important. However, the pain in the hip, the slow capillary refill, and the yellow appearance of the roof of the mouth are related to the emergencies and are probable. The facial drooping as a new finding indicates the possibility of reduced brain perfusion and stroke. This dew development requires immediate care and intervention.
