Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has hyperthermia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Initiate seizure precautions. Hyperthermia can lead to seizures, so initiating seizure precautions is crucial to ensure the adolescent's safety. This includes protecting the airway, padding the environment to prevent injury during a seizure, and having emergency medications readily available. Submerging the feet in ice water (choice
A) can cause vasoconstriction and potentially worsen the hyperthermia. Administering oral acetaminophen (choice
C) may not be effective in rapidly reducing the body temperature. Covering the adolescent with a thermal blanket (choice
D) may trap heat and exacerbate the hyperthermia.
