Findings
Step 1: isolating questions of concept
Given the lack of clarity in the fever literature, several
questions arise. These include: (1) What is the nature of
fever? (2) What are the signs and symptoms of fever? (3) Does
fever differ from hyperthermia? (4) Should fever be treated? It
is important to separate these questions into the categories of
concept, fact, and value. This is because questions of concept
are the focus of this analysis, and it is only within this
conceptual foundation that ensuing questions of fact and
value can be adequately addressed. Thus, in this framework,
the first and third questions are questions of concept. The
second question is a question of fact. The third question is
also a question of fact as it requires explication of the
similarities and differences between the concepts of fever and
hyperthermia. The last question is one of value, needing both
a clear definition of fever and a decision based in values. The
first and third questions will be answered by this concept
analysis but, as answering one will help delineate the other,
this analysis will focus on deriving the nature of the concept
of fever.
