1. Encouraging fluids.
2. Restricting fluids.
3. Providing blankets.
4. Keeping the room temperature warm.
1. Encouraging fluids.
Rationale:
The client with an elevated body temperature should be encouraged to ingest fluids or should be provided with IV fluids. The increase in body temperature could be due to dehydration. The client's fluids should not be restricted. Blankets and providing a warm room would be applicable if the client had a low body temperature.
