<![CDATA[Background: Hyperthermia is a common nursing problem found in patients with typhoid fever. Nursing implementation through a nursing care approach is given to assist in decreasing body temperature. The purpose of this case study is to describe the implementation of hyperthermia management in patients with impaired body temperature balance. Methods: This research method is descriptive using the case study method. Implementation includes monitoring body temperature, and warm compresses, recommending bed rest, and collaborating on intravenous fluids and electrolytes. The research was conducted at a hospital in Palembang for typhoid fever patients with hyperthermia problems. Implementation is carried out 5 days in patient 1 and 3 days in patient 2. Result: the case study results showed a decrease in patient's body temperature, patient 1 from 38,5°C to 36,5°C while patient 2 from 39°C to 36,3 °C. Conclusion: The problem of hyperthermia in patients with typhoid fever can be resolved through an implementation approach to hyperthermia management.]]>
