Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a fever due to an infection. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Encouraging fluid intake helps prevent dehydration, which is important when a person has a fever. Fever can increase fluid loss through sweating and evaporation. Adequate fluid intake helps maintain hydration and supports the body's ability to fight infection.
Choice B is incorrect as it suggests a very low fluid intake, which can lead to dehydration.
Choice C is incorrect because maintaining such a low environmental temperature can be uncomfortable and may lead to shivering, which can increase body temperature.
Choice D is incorrect because immersing the client in cold water can cause a rapid drop in body temperature, which may lead to shivering and vasoconstriction, potentially worsening the fever.
Choice E is irrelevant to managing a fever and may not be safe if the client is weak or dizzy.
