I just had my Ped's final and there was a question that I didn't know how to answer. In a nut shell the question was:
A patient understands their disease of sickle cell when on a hot day they choose to drink?
A. Lemonade
B. Iced Tea
C. Diet cola
D. Milkshake
I didn't know where they were going with this, I mean I know ppl with sickle cell have to stay hydrated. But what is the difference btwn lemonade and iced tea? Both are sugared drinks. I chose diet cola. Milkshake sounds like a throw away possibility. What would you chose?
The correct answer is lemonade! Sickle cell patients have to maintain good hydration, helps prevent a lot of sickleing. So, on a hot day you would know that they understand their disease when they reach for the lemonade. Milkshakes are totally out. Iced tea and diet cola have caffeine which is a diuretic. I don't drink iced tea so I didn't know (or figure out) that it has caffeine when I took this test. Thanks again for all your ideas!
