Based on the symptoms described—fever (103°F), weakness, vomiting, nausea, and headaches—Jeanette is most likely suffering from heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses too much water and salts due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, leading to symptoms like those mentioned. Heat stroke is more severe and typically involves higher body temperatures, confusion, and potentially a loss of consciousness.
