This nursing care plan is for a student named Princess F. Sugaton who presents with hyperthermia related to an upper tract infection. The plan outlines the nursing diagnosis of hyperthermia, pathophysiology related to a history of hypertension and diabetes, and exposure to high environmental temperature. Short term goals are for the patient's temperature to return to normal range and to identify underlying causes and long term treatment. Interventions include monitoring vital signs, providing tepid sponge baths, maintaining bed rest, increasing fluids, and providing antipyretic medications if needed. The plan aims to return the patient's vital signs to normal ranges and prevent further febrile episodes through nursing education and care.
