A Dehydration can occur from insensible water loss. Offer the child fluids
frequently and evaluate the need for IV therapy .
B Aspirin is avoided because of the potential association with Reye's syndrome.
C Treatment of a fever can include administration of an antipyretic.
D A sponge or tub bath with tepid water to reduce fever can cause shivering and
ultimately increase the child's temperature.
