Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has an oral temperature of 39 C (102.27 F). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Heart rate 108/min. When a client has a fever (oral temperature of 39
C), the body responds by increasing the heart rate to help circulate blood more efficiently and maintain oxygen delivery to tissues. This compensatory mechanism is known as tachycardia. Decreased peripheral pulses (
A) would not be expected as the body tries to increase circulation. Respiratory rate of 10 breaths/min (
C) is extremely low and not consistent with fever. Dilated pupils (
D) are not directly related to fever.
