 Compress the patient, on the thigh fold, axila and neck.
 Increase air circulation.
 Provide treatment to prevent shivering.

Temperature Regulation

 Monitor signs of hyperthermia


 Increase fluid intake and nutrition
 Teach the patient how to prevent fatigue due to heat
 Discuss and clarify the importance of temperature regulation and possible negative
effects of cold
 Provide appropriate antipyretic medication as needed
 Use the mattress cool and warm water bath to overcome the interference fit the needs of
the body temperature
 Release of excess clothing and covered the patient with only a piece of clothing.

Vital Sign Monitoring

 Monitor blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration


 Record the blood pressure fluctuates
 Monitor the patient’s vital signs while standing, sitting and lying
 Auscultation of blood pressure in both arms and compare
 Monitor blood pressure, pulse, and respiration before, during, and after activity
 Monitor the quality of the pulse
 Monitor breathing frequency and cadence
 Monitor the voice of the lungs
 Monitor abnormal breathing patterns
 Monitors temperature, humidity and skin color
 Monitor peripheral cyanosis
 Monitor the availability of a widened pulse pressure, bradycardia, increase in systolic
(Chusing Triad)
 Identify the cause of the change in vital signs.
