Ody Temperature As Evidenced by Temperature of 38.5

The nursing diagnosis was hyperthermia manifested by an abnormal body temperature of 38.5°C as reported by the guardian. The plan was to assess the child's vital signs closely, check for signs of dehydration, perform tepid sponging, maintain adequate fluid intake, and administer antipyretics as needed. After 2 hours of nursing intervention, the client's temperature returned to and was maintained at a normal 36.5°C, meeting the goal.
