R / : Can help decrease heat experienced by the patient.

2. Encourage clients to use clothes that can absorb sweat.

R / : Helps reduce body temperature of the patient.


Nursing Diagnosis : Imbalanced nutrition : less than body requirements related to the inability to absorb nutrients.

Goal : Nutritional needs fulfilled.

Outcomes :
  • Return to normal eating,

  • Normal laboratory examination,
  • Showed no signs of malnutrition,
