2. ) Rendered tepid sponge bath and removed excess clothing and covers. 3.) Provided antipyretic medications as ordered.
Vital signs provide more accurate indication of core Short term: temperature. After 4 hours of nursing interventions, These decrease warmth the patients and increase evaporate temperature has cooling. decreased from 38.5 to 37.5 C. Temperatures above 40C for extended periods can cause cellular damage, delirium and convulsions. Goal was met.
Objective: - Body temperature above normal range (38.5 C, axillary) - RR=25 bpm - PR=92 bpm - Warm, flushed skin - Facial grimacing, crying Background of the Study: Hyperthermia is a sustained temperature above the normal variance; usually greater than 39C. (Mosby Nursing Care Plans, pp. 9294)

ANNELORE M. ARCAY ASSESSMENT DIAGNOSIS PLANNING INTERVENTIONS 1.) Assessed airway patency. 2.) Auscultate lungs for presence of normal or adventitious breath sounds such as: decreased or absent breath sounds, wheezing and coarse sounds 3.) Assessed respirations; noted quality, rate, pattern, depth, flaring of nostrils, dyspnea on exertion, evidence of splinting, use of accessory ,muscles, and position for breathing. 4.) Assessed changes in vital signs and temperature. 5.) Assessed cough for effectiveness and productivity. 6.) Administer medications as expectorantss and mucolytics. RATIONALE Maintaining the airway is always the first priority. These may indicate presence of mucus plug, increasing airway resistance, presence of fluid along larger airways. EVALUATION
Subjective: Isang linggo na yung ubo niya pero di nya malabas yung plema. As verbalized by the patients mother. Ineffective Airway Clearance related to retained secretions as manifested by dry cough

Objective: -dry, unproductive cough -restless -RR= 38 bpm - nebulization q4h (NSS) -has a history of Pneumonia (diagnosed July, 2013) -presence of crackles when auscultated -dry skin
Long term: After 1 day of nursing interventions, the patient will be able to expectorate all retained secretions.
Abnormality indicates respiratory compromise.
Background of the Study: Inability to clear secretions or obstructions from the respiratory tract to maintain a clear airway. (Nurses Pocket Guide 10th edition pp. 74-76)

7.) Assisted on nebulizer treatment. Nebulization done as per doctors order every 4 hours. 8.) Encouraged client to increase fluid intake.
Relaxes bronchial and smooth muscle by acting on bet-adrenergic receptors.
Hydration helps the viscosity of secretions thus, facilitating expectorations, Chest physiotherapy helps to aid release of secretions.

(Nurses Pocket Guide 10th edition pp. 487-492) After 4 days of nursing intervention, the patients boils will be diminished.
Maintaining clean, dry skin provides a barrier to infection. Patting skin dry instead of rubbing reduces risk of dermal trauma to fragile skin. Improved nutrition and hydration will improve skin condition.
3.) Emphasized importance of adequate nutrition and fluid intake. 4.) Kept the affected area clean and dry
To prevent further invasion of microorganism.
