What Are the Signs of Hypothermia and Hyperthermia?
Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops below 35°C (95°F). Signs include shivering, slurred speech, slow breathing, and confusion. Hyperthermia, on the other hand, occurs when the body temperature rises above 38°C (100.4°F). Signs include dry skin, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and nausea. Early detection by nurses is essential for prompt intervention.
