Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a high fever. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Give the client a sponge bath using an alcohol-water solution. This action helps to promote heat loss through evaporation, aiding in reducing the high fever. Alcohol evaporates quickly, leading to a cooling effect on the skin. Applying a bath blanket between the client and a cooling blanket (
A) may insulate heat, hindering cooling. Covering the client with heavy blankets after shivering subsides (
B) can trap heat, exacerbating the fever. Placing ice packs on the client's neck and behind the knees (
D) can lead to vasoconstriction, reducing heat loss efficiency.
