What are the nursing diagnoses related to potential postoperative temperature complications mentioned in the chapter?

Nursing diagnoses related to potential postoperative temperature complications include hypothermia, hyperthermia, and risk for hypothermia. Hypothermia is linked to decreased metabolic rate and inactivity, while hyperthermia is associated with increased metabolic activity and dehydration. The risk for hypothermia can be evidenced by inefficient nonshivering thermogenesis due to general anesthesia or the surgical procedure.
