Answer to Question 1

Answer: D, E

The client has an elevated temperature. The administration of antipyretic medication is one treatment used to lower the body temperature. Increasing oral fluid intake is an intervention for an elevated body temperature. The other options would be interventions to help a client with a lower body temperature.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Factors that affect body temperature include age, diurnal variations, exercise, hormones, stress, and environment. The client who is a victim of an industrial accident most likely has a temperature elevation because of stress. There is no evidence presented to suspect infection. The client was not exercising. Diet does not influence body temperature.
