The lack of clarity of the concept of fever is evident in three
recent descriptive, exploratory studies (Grossman et al. 1995,
Emmouth & Mansson 1997, Edwards et al. 2001). In each of
these, one conducted in the United States of America (USA),
one in Sweden, and one in Australia, the authors found lack
of consistency in the ways nurses describe who has a fever
and when patients with fevers should be treated. Emmouth
and Mansson (1997) concluded that, because nurses describe
febrile patients in very different terms, misunderstandings
result. They recommended the identification and subsequent
use of clarified language for use in nursing documentation.
