5. The nurse is caring for a 65-year-old client and notes a temperature of 101°F. How does the nurse interpret this finding?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A temperature of 101°F is indicative of hyperthermia, which is an elevated body temperature. Hyperthermia is commonly associated with fever or environmental factors such as excessive heat exposure. Choice B, 'A cold environment,' is incorrect as hyperthermia refers to elevated body temperature, not a cold environment. Choice C, 'Normal,' is incorrect as a temperature of 101°F is above the normal range for body temperature. Choice D, 'Hypothermia,' is incorrect as hypothermia refers to a low body temperature, not an elevated one.
