Hyperthermia is defined as a temperature greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (100–101 °F), depending on the reference used, that occurs without a change in the body's temperature set point.
The normal human body temperature in health can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. Hyperthermia requires an elevation from the temperature that would otherwise be expected. Such elevations range from mild to extreme; body temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) can be life threatening.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe, potentially deadly infection spread by mosquitos, mainly the species Aedes aegypti.
Early symptoms include:
Nursing Diagnosis for Dengue Fever : Hyperthermia related to increase the rate of metabolism
Defining characteristics :
1) Measure vital signs (temperature)
Rationale: Temperature 38.90 C-41, 10c, shows an acute infectious disease process
2) Give warm compresses
Rational: Warm compresses will happen conduction heat transfer
3) Increase fluid intake
Rational: To replace fluids lost due to evaporation
