A patient with single lung transplantation has a body temperature of 99° f, fatigue, shortness of breath, and an oxygen saturation level of 80 percent. which treatment may comfort this patient?

The patient's symptoms indicate that he probably suffers from acute lung rejection. Acute rejection consists an immune reaction to the tissue introduced into the body and it could happen after a week of the transplant procedure. The patient should be administered corticosteroids, as they have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and they could reduce the fever. In addition, the patient should be administered prednisone, which is a synthetic corticosteroid drug very commonly used as a suppressor of the immune system.
