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 action is C: Give the client a sponge bath using an alcohol-water solution. This helps to reduce the client's body temperature through evaporative cooling. Alcohol evaporates quickly, enhancing heat loss. Applying a bath blanket between the client and a cooling blanket (
A) may not be as effective in reducing the client's temperature as a sponge bath. Covering the client with heavy blankets after shivering subsides (
B) may trap heat and worsen the fever. Placing ice packs on the client's neck and behind the knees (
D) may cause vasoconstriction and hinder heat loss.
