    (Ms.Irma) High fever and Rash-

    Initial Assessment-To gather info about the patient I would ask parents/Guardians about the child medical history,symptoms and recent exposures to others that are sick around family/school.

    Prioritization-Based on any rashes or any irritation are considered an urgent condition,These require immediate attention so no infections or allergies cause during the future.

    Vital signs Assessment-I would measure temp using a electrical thermometer I would also check heart rate (pulse) ,respiratory rate,blood pressure.

    Immediate Interventions-Apply a cool ice pack and show the physician the symptoms so they can identify any medications needed.

    Communication and Documentation-i would communicate with my co-workers and with the physician informing them clear information.Documenting the patients symptoms clearly.
