Joyce Layne is a 17-year old high school student in her senior year. She is an honors student, works hard to get good grades, and hates to miss school. For the past 3 days, she has not been feeling well. This morning her temperature is 39 C (102.2 F), and she has chills and a headache. Several of her friends at school have the flu. She has taken ibuprofen for fevers and menstrual cramps in the past, but Joyce cannot find any in the house as she prepares to leave for school. Her parents have already left for work, and they trust her to check with you, the nurse who lives next door, before taking any medications. Joyce calls you to ask βIs it okay to take the aspirin that my mom uses for her arthritis so I can go to school?β As a nurse, this presents an opportunity for you to teach Joyce about aspirin and her fever.
This activity contains 5 questions:
Describe the pathophysiology of fever and inflammation.
Why is aspirin administered for fever?
Should Joyce take the aspirin? Why or why not?
What will you teach Joyce about aspirin and the flulike symptoms she is having? What additional patient teaching will she need?
