A cooling blanket is ordered for an adult who has a temperature of 106°F (41.5°C). Which nursing action is appropriate?
ExplanationThere should always be a sheet between the client and the cooling blanket to protect from frostbite. The position of the client should be changed every two hours. Powder is not applied to the skin; it will cause the skin to be dry. If necessary, oil can be applied to the skin. The client should be checked for frostbite and should be turned every two hours, not every 10 minutes.
