Question

Johnny's body temperature is spiking upward. When it reaches 104°F, his mother puts in a call to the pediatrician. She is advised to give Johnny children's aspirin and sponge his body with cool to tepid water to prevent a further rise in temperature. How might a fever (excessively high body temperature) be detrimental to Johnny's welfare?

I COPIED AND PASTED HAHA PERSON!

Answer 1

Don't know if it's the answer your looking for but you should never give a child aspirin when they have a fever it can cause rye's syndrome and be potentially fatal.

Answer 2

While it is true that some children may have febrile convulsions at that temperature (which is enough to scare any parent), most children will never have a seizure with fever. And even though seizures with fever are frightening, they are not dangerous. A temperature of 108ºF is certainly likely to cause brain damage. Children can generally tolerate temperatures up to 106ºF without harm although such high fevers are not good for the health of parents. Fevers almost never go above 106ºF because the body produces the fever in response to illness and the body is usually smart enough to not hurt itself. Temperatures are more likely to go dangerously high if a child is dehydrated since he needs fluids to sweat to bring the fever down, or if the child has too much clothing or blankets since they will prevent heat from escaping, or if he has meningitis which can interfere with the thermostat in the brain.

Answer 3

To anwer your question best possible

If Johnny runs to high of a fever he is in danger of possible death
he will not be able to get out of bed loss of appetite. Asprin and cool wash cloths will help bring the fever down but Johnny has to keep takin the asprin to make sure the fever stays at a normal temp of 97 F if he runs 104 F it is extremely to high for a child and if the child runs a high temp like that that he is on the verge of death

Answer 4

to put in a simple way, so many enzymatic reactions are taking place inside the cells of our body which is required to keep our body in a normal condition. These enzymatic reactions are highly temperature sensitive and hence if there is any change in body temperature it will automatically affect the rate of the reactions which in turn will affect our system.Ultimately it becomes lethal at one point of time.

Answer 5

Fever is the body’s response to disease and is designed to kill germs outright and stimulate the immune system to fight bacteria and viruses.

A febrile seizure may occur in children with very high fevers and is marked by temporary loss of consciousness and convulsions. Very high fevers also can cause hallucinations, confusion and irritability.

Answer 6

At 104 degrees and above the person risks going into a coma and then possibly death. Permanent brain damage could result if he survives.

Answer 7

Searching the Internet for the effects of high fever would have taken less effort than typing this question.

Answer 8
