NCP For Leptospirosis

The patient presented with hyperthermia and symptoms of leptospirosis including malaise, increased heart and respiratory rate, and a temperature of 38.8 C. The nurse developed a plan to maintain the patient's temperature between 36.5-37.5 C through independent interventions like adjusting the room temperature, eliminating excess clothing, and performing tepid sponge baths. Dependent interventions like starting IV fluids and giving antipyretic medications as prescribed were also included. The goal was for the patient to maintain a normal temperature within 8 hours, which was successfully achieved.
