    the nursing care plan for measles should focus on preventing its complications. childhood mortality is high due to complications from measles. these are pneumonia(inflammation of the lungs), middle ear infections, and severe complications include encephalitis(inflammation of the brain)
    another nursing care plan would be to prevent the spread of infection. the disease is communicable and infectious at the same time. isolation of the patient is necessary. vaccination against measles(MMR) is already available

    Make the child comfortable. Control temperature. Give plenty of fluids and small, frequent feeds. Give a high dose of vitamin A to prevent complications. Watch out for complications such as encephalitis, pneumonia and eye and mouth complications.
