Appropriate nursing interventions for the patient in sinus tachycardia are to observe the patient for effects on cardiac function; treat fever, hypovolemia, and pain if present. The focus is on determining the patient response to the elevated heart rate and treating the underlying causes, which are often fever, pain, and hypovolemia.
