I Have A Fever and Rashes All Over My Body As Verbalized by The Patient

The patient presented with a fever and rashes all over their body. Their temperature was elevated at 37.9°C, heart rate was elevated, and they exhibited petechiae. The nursing diagnosis was hyperthermia related to a viral infection. The plan was to provide interventions over 8 hours to lower the patient's temperature and prevent complications, which included isolation, hand washing, covering coughs/sneezes, monitoring temperature and symptoms, and providing sponge baths and calamine lotion to reduce fever and itchiness.
