Question 45 • Contemporary Health

Which is one treatment that is recommended for people with sickle cell disease?

Answer
A
healthy diet and exercise
B
calcium supplements
C
pacemaker implant
D
bone marrow transplant

Explanation

A bone marrow transplant can replace the blood-forming cells that produce sickled red blood cells, and it may cure sickle cell disease for some people. Healthy eating and exercise support overall health, but they do not treat the underlying disease; calcium supplements and pacemakers are not standard treatments for sickle cell disease.
