EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEM Infection Biologic mediators are released. Circulate to the anterior hypothalamus.

OBJECTIVES STO: After 2 hrs. of nursing intervention the patient’s temperature will decreased from 38 to37.5 or degrees Celsius.

LTO: After 72 hours of nursing intervention the Prostaglandin E2 patient’s temperature will and arachidonic maintain from a normal acid metabolites are range of 36.5-37.5 degrees produced. Celsius. Induce the formation of secondary messengers such as cyclic AMP. Rise in the thermoregulating set point. Heat production Fever

INTERVENTION Dx: > Monitor and record vital signs especially the temperature. > Assess for factors that contribute to hyperthermia such as infection. Tx: > Provide comfort measures such fixing his linens. >Do TSB. >Remove extra clothing’s. >Provide adequate ventilation and introduce fanning. > Administer antipyretics PRN as ordered.
