The key takeaways are that fever is a common postoperative complication that can have infectious or non-infectious causes. It is important to systematically evaluate and manage fever on a case-by-case basis.

Nursing interventions for fever include encouraging fluid intake, administering tepid sponge baths, avoiding alcohol which can elevate temperature, and administering antipyretics as ordered.

The goals of fever management are to reduce the patient's temperature, prevent dehydration, limit discomfort, and monitor for underlying causes of the fever.
