    1. The patient presented with hyperthermia related to infection, with a temperature of 38.4°C. 2. Nursing interventions included cooling blankets, oral fluids, tepid sponge baths, and paracetamol to reduce fever and symptoms. 3. After 1 hour, the patient's temperature decreased slightly to 37.9°C but chills and shivering persisted, so the physician was notified.
