| dc.description.abstract | Fever is an increase in body temperature that occurs as a result of a systemic response mediated by the central nervous system (CNS). This systemic response can be triggered by several causes. Normal body temperature is usually between 36.6℃ and 37.2°C. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the number of fever cases worldwide reaches 16-33 million with 500-600 thousand deaths each year. The aim of this research is to apply the concept of nursing care to children with fever. The methodology is the management of nursing care starting from conducting assessments, conducting data analysis, formulating diagnoses, prioritizing nursing problems, compiling interventions, implementing interventions, and conducting nursing evaluations. An. S has a fever of 39.2℃ which causes hyperthermia, An. S experiences a nutritional risk of less than body requirements related to nausea and vomiting, An.S experiences sleep pattern disturbances due to high fever at night. The first diagnosis obtained from the results of the study of the child experiencing hyperthermia due to a high increase in body temperature, the second priority diagnosis is the risk of nutritional imbalance with the child having a decreased appetite due to nausea and vomiting, and disrupted sleep patterns. The implementation carried out was giving paracetamol 200 mg, ondanstron 2.5 mg, applying warm compresses, giving children the food they liked, giving music therapy. After implementation, it is found that the client's body temperature has decreased, the client says he is not dizzy, the child's appetite has increased, and the child can fall asleep at night. | en_US |
