Question

A parent calls the nurse in the emergency department and reports giving a tepid bath to decrease temperature in a feverish child. The parent states the child is shivering and wants to know if this means the bath was effective. What is the best response by the nurse? "Shivering means the child is chilling, which will cause the body temperature to increase." "The child's fever is going to go down after the bath because of the shivering." "You should pour more hot water in the tub so the child will not shiver." "The child may be getting ready to have seizure activity."
