A child with a day-old fever is admitted to a health care facility. Which of the following baths will be most appropriate for the client?

B) Medicated bath
C) Dry bath
D) Towel bath
D
Feedback:
As the child has had a fever for approximately 1 day, he or she should be given a towel bath. A tub bath may aggravate the fever so a bed bath is not recommended for people with fever. A medicated bath is ineffective against a fever and a "dry bath" does not exist.
