1. Bertie is on blood pressure medication, indicating he could suffer from hypertension. Moreover, he is overweight and diabetic, so his condition could lead to stroke.
2. Fever is a sign of infection so the nurse needs to give paracetamol to lower his temperature and keep a close watch on his body temperature.
3. Considering Mr Botts is kept nil by mouth, his medications should be changed from tablets to Intravenous. As he is not eating or drinking, his sugar level will be affected so the nurse needs to check his sugar level and blood pressure regularly.
