2. Knowledge Deficit

Rationale: The client has reportedly been skiing, which would be in an area of high altitude, which is contraindicated for someone with sickle cell. This client appears to have a knowledge deficit about self-care. There is no evidence from the information given that the client has fluid volume excess, a need for enhanced immunization status, or a risk for self-mutilation.
