A nurse is caring for a 2-year-old child who has pneumonia and a temperature of 39.4° C (103° F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Aspirin is contraindicated for children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition associated with aspirin use in children under the age of 18. B. Administering acetaminophen at this frequency could result in overdose or liver damage, especially in children. Acetaminophen should be given at appropriate intervals (usually every 4–6 hours) as per the prescribed dosage. C. Lowering the temperature of the room can help reduce the child’s fever without overcooling. A comfortable room temperature helps to prevent further heat retention and promotes the child's comfort. D. An ice bath can cause shivering, which could raise the body temperature and cause additional harm. It is not recommended for fever reduction in children.
