b. Ask the nursing assistant to bathe the client with tepid water.
c. Administer acetaminophen (Tylenol) to lower the temperature.
d. Delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to retake the temperature.

A sudden spike in temperature following an endoscopic procedure may indicate

acute upper abdominal pain; a rigid, board-like abdomen; and developing signs of shock.
