the following question will ask to put in order: A patient who has an infected
abdominal wound develops a temperature of 104 degree F. ( 40 C. All the following interventions are
included in the patient’s plan of care. In which order
should
the nurse perf
orm the following actions?
Homework Answers
Ans) Interventions to reduce body temperature:
A. Switch on a fan.
B. Apply an ice pack.
C. Bathe the patient with a cool cloth.
Rationale: A fan promotes the loss of heat through convection. Heat loss through conduction can be encouraged by the application of ice packs and bathing the patient with a cool cloth. Aquathermia pads help the body gain heat through conduction; they do not promote heat loss. Covering the body with dark and closely woven clothes reduces heat lost from radiation; the clothes will not decrease the patient's body temperature.
