My care plan is due tomorrow but i just thought I would post a question and see what happens. My patient is a 2 year old who came into the ER with fever and rash. A Dx was not made on my clinical day, but I am doing my care plan on Group A Streptococcus infection. For nursing Dx I have Impaired skin integrity r/t rash..., Hyperthermia r/t infection process..., and can't quite think of another. Anxiety could work, but i was just trying to think if there was a more important one. Also, do you think Hyperthermia is okay if he came in with a fever, but remained afebrile the day i took care of him??? Thanks ahead!
