Fever refers to an elevation in body temperature. Technically, any body temperature above the normal oral measurement of 98.6 F (37 C) or the normal rectal temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) is considered to be elevated. However, these are averages, and one's normal body temperature may actually be 1 F (0.6 C) or more above or below the average of 98.6 F. Body temperature can also vary up to 1 F (0.6 C) throughout the day. Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 100.4 F (38 C). Anything above normal but below 100.4 F (38 C) is considered a low-grade fever. Fever serves as one of the body's natural defenses against bacteria and viruses which cannot live at a higher temperature. For that reason,

After 8 hours of nursing interventions, the patient will demonstrate temperature within normal range and will experience no associated complications.

INDEPENDENT: Wash hands with antibacterial soap before or after care of the patient. Encourage patient to cover mouth and nose during coughs or sneezes. Monitor patient temperature, degree and pattern. Observe for chills and profuse diaphoresis. Fever patter aids in the disease process and diagnosis. Chills often precede temperature spikes in presence of Prevents the spread of infection via airborne droplet. Reduces the risk of spreading the infection.

After 8 hours of nursing interventions, the patient was able to demonstrate temperature within normal range and experienced no associated complications.

low fevers should normally go untreated, unless accompanied by troubling symptoms. Also, the body's defense mechanisms seem to work more efficiently at a higher temperature. Fever is just one part of an illness, many times no more important than the presence of other symptoms such as cough, throat, fatigue, joint pains or aches, chills, nausea, etc. Fevers of 104 F (40 C) or higher demand immediate home treatment and subsequent medical attention, as they can result in delirium and convulsions, particularly in infants and children. Monitor environmental temperature.

generalized infection. Room temperature should be altered to maintain normal body temperature. Provide tepid sponge baths, avoiding the use of alcohol. May help reduce the fever.

COLLABORATIVE: Administer antipyretics as indicated. Used to reduce the fever by its central action on the hypothalamus.
