The nursing care plan addresses a patient presenting with fever. Key assessments include the patient reporting feeling hot and displaying flushed skin and restlessness. The diagnosis is hyperthermia related to dehydration from infectious agents stimulating the release of pyrogens. The plan is to monitor the patient's temperature, heart rate, and fluid intake/output for 4 hours and provide interventions like tepid sponge baths, supplemental oxygen, and blankets to maintain a normal core temperature. The interventions aim to decrease temperature and minimize complications while offsetting increased oxygen demands. The expected outcome is for the patient's temperature to be within normal range after 4 hours.
