Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who collapsed after working outside on a hot day. The patient is disoriented with hot, dry skin and a heart rate of 140 beats/minute. Which temperature will the nurse expect the patient to have?
Correct Answer: 104.4
Rationale: The correct answer is 104.4. The patient is exhibiting signs of heat stroke, a severe form of heat-related illness. With hot, dry skin and a heart rate of 140, the patient's body temperature is likely to be significantly elevated. A temperature of 104.4°F or higher is common in heat stroke due to the body's inability to regulate temperature. Other choices are incorrect as they do not reflect the severity of heat stroke. A lower temperature (choices A to F) would not align with the patient's symptoms, while a higher temperature (choice G) would indicate a more critical condition beyond heat stroke.
