Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who has a rectal temperature of 35° C (95° F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Place a warming blanket over the client.
Rationale:
💎 Hypothermia is indicated by rectal temp <36°C, requiring active warming interventions.
💎 Warming blankets provide external heat to increase core body temperature safely.
💎 Decreasing room temperature or using a cooling fan is contraindicated, as it worsens hypothermia.
💎 Antipyretics treat fever, not hypothermia, so are inappropriate here.
💎 Monitoring vital signs during warming prevents complications like cardiac arrhythmias.
