N WITH FEBRIS (FEVER) MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AT RT 02 KEMIRI MUKA VILLAGE, DEPOK CITY   Background: Fever or febris is a condition where body temperature rises above normal. Fever is not a disease itself, but it is a symptom of an underlying condition that needs to be treated properly to minimize the negative impacts. One of non-pharmacological interventions  to treat fever, such as applying red onion compress, can be used for children.

Implementation: The nursing care for both patients was carried out from July 20th-22nd 2023, and from July 24th-26th 2023. The implementation focused on nursing diagnosis of hyperthermia, with the goal of reducing fever in both patients through the application of red onion compress. Results: The nursing evaluation of the main problem, hyperthermia, showed that after appliying the red onion compress to both patients for 3 days, the data showed a decrease in body temperature on the 3rd day after the nursing intervention. Conclusion and Recommendation: Red onion compress therapy proved to be effective in reducing body temperature in children with a nursing problem of hyperthermia.
