    CLINICAL SCENARIO:
    A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with a confirmed diagnosis of
    dengue fever. During my nursing shift, I observed that the patient had an elevated
    temperature. To address this, I decided to perform a tepid sponge bath as a part of the fever
    management protocol. While providing care, I took the opportunity to educate the patient,
    mentioning that oral rehydration therapy is recommended for patients with moderate
    dehydration caused by high fever and vomiting.

    SCENARIO
    1. How was knowledge acquired? Information on dengue, symptoms, and
    fever management.
    Prior experience with patients with similar
    conditions.
    Knowledge of ethical principles and patient
    rights.
    Knowledge of ethical principles and patient
    rights.

    2. How knowledge was processed? Evaluation of patient history, vital signs,


    and symptoms
    Assessment of the patient's response to
    interventions
    Consideration of patient autonomy and
    informed consent
    Interpretation of the patient's comfort level
    and distress
    Analyzing the holistic picture of the
    patient's condition
    3. How was knowledge generated? Application of tepid sponge bath for fever
    management
    Recognizing individual patient preferences
    and comfort
    Ensuring patient understanding and
    agreement with the fever management plan
    Formulation of a comprehensive fever
    management plan
    4. How knowledge was disseminated? Communication with the healthcare team
    about the intervention
    Sharing insights with colleagues during
    handover
    Open communication with the patient
    regarding the intervention
    Collaborative care planning with the
    healthcare team
    5. How was feedback used and its effect? Continuous monitoring of temperature and
    symptoms for effectiveness.
    Incorporating feedback from colleagues into
    future fever management.
    Addressing any ethical concerns raised by
    the patient or colleagues.
    Iterative refinement of the fever
    management plan based on feedback and
    outcomes.

    1. Strengths and Weaknesses of the Foundation of Knowledge Model

    In the context of the scenario involving a 19-year-old patient with dengue, the model's
    strength lies in its ability to blend medical knowledge, personal experience, ethical principles,
    and aesthetic considerations. This holistic approach enables healthcare professionals to
    formulate well-rounded care plans. However, the subjectivity in personal and aesthetic
    knowledge, such as patient preferences, may introduce variability among healthcare
    providers. Additionally, the model's comprehensive nature could be challenging to implement
    quickly in fast-paced clinical environments.

    2. How the Model Can Improve Patient Care

    By employing the Foundation of Knowledge Model, healthcare professionals can


    offer more individualized care to dengue patients. Integrating empirical knowledge about the
    disease, personal experience in fever management, ethical considerations in patient
    communication, and aesthetic awareness of patient comfort can lead to a more tailored and
    effective care plan. The model's emphasis on collaboration ensures that insights from
    different perspectives contribute to comprehensive decision-making, ultimately benefiting
    patient outcomes.

    3. Ethical Considerations of Using this Model

    In the given scenario, ethical considerations are pivotal. The model underscores the
    importance of informed consent and respecting patient autonomy, which is crucial when
    introducing interventions like the tepid sponge bath. Healthcare professionals need to ensure
    open communication, addressing any ethical concerns raised by the patient or colleagues.
    Aesthetic knowledge, acknowledging patient comfort, adds an ethical dimension, requiring
    cultural sensitivity. Privacy concerns emerge when disseminating patient information,
    demanding a delicate balance between sharing knowledge for collaborative care
    and maintaining confidentiality. Navigating these ethical considerations ensures patient-
    centered and ethically sound care.
