A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a child diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. The discussion is focused on precipitating factors for sickle cell crisis. Which statement by the parents requires the nurse to reinforce the teaching?

How can the condition be cured? What is the bacteria/pathogen responsible for the condition?

Explanation:

These are just a few possible questions off the top of my head that suggests that the parents are unaware of the cause of the condition being a genetic mutation which cannot be cured, but can only be alleviated by not triggering the symptoms of the condition.
