Documentation
Inaccurate documentation is cited as one of the main reasons contributing to inconsistent fever management practices
and in most cases, nurses to not document the rationale for administering paracetamol or abnormalities in conditions (Thompson & Kagan 2010). At times of triage when it is busy and time constraints limit the ability to reassess the child, particularly in the waiting room, it is important to prioritise, reassess and document all clinical findings until the child is seen by a medical officer.
