Question

While evaluating and treating a child with fever, the clinician recognizes that: QID: 4276793 Mark For Review The primary goal of fever management should be reduction of temperature to <100.5°F (38.1°C). In patients <1 year of age, all fever should be aggressively treated as there are no circumstances in which benefit outweighs risk. Acetaminophen has demonstrated superior analgesic control and longer duration of action.
