Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone, this is my first time using this site, so I am not exactly sure if I am doing this right. Anyway, I am having an issue prioritizing a concept map for a careplan. I actually have to pick my top 2 nursing diagnosises and create 2 care plans from them. I have already completed my first one , but I am having a hard time deciding upon the other. The problem is: The patient had an infection; the only nursing diagnosis I can find is risk for infection. When you look in the NANDA book under infection, it gives you the options: hyperthermia, ineffective protection, and risk for trauma. My patient was running a temperature, so does that take priority over the actual infection?? Should I do a care plan on hyperthermia or risk for infection?
