Care Plan for Febrile Seizure
Category: Pediatrics
Assessment
Patient presents with high fever, tonic-clonic seizures, and postictal drowsiness.
Diagnosis
Risk for injury related to seizure activity.
Goals
Patient will be free from injury during seizures and maintain normal body temperature. Patient's caregivers will verbalize understanding of febrile seizure management and safety precautions.
Interventions
Administer antipyretics to manage fever and monitor temperature regularly. Educate caregivers on seizure first aid and safety measures during febrile seizures. Encourage caregivers to keep a fever diary to identify patterns and triggers. Provide reassurance and support to caregivers.
Rationale
These interventions help manage fever, prevent injury, and support caregivers in managing febrile seizures.
Evaluation
Patient's temperature control, safety during seizures, and caregiver understanding will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
