Identify intolerance is causative/p related to recipitating generalized factors weakness and debilitation secondary to acute or chronic illness and disease.

Determine patient's perception of causes of fatigue or activity intolerance. Note client reports of weakness, fatigue, pain, difficulty accomplishing tasks, and/or insomnia. Assess patient's level of mobility.
Assessment guides treatment. This will also give direction in establishing goals Symptoms may be result of/or contribute to intolerance of activity This aids in defining what patient is capable of, which is necessary before setting realistic goals. To determine current status and needs associated with participation in needed/desired activities Adequate energy reserves are required for
Ascertain ability to stand and move about and degree of assistance necessary/use of equipment. Assess nutritional status
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF NURSING NURSING CARE PLAN activity. Assess potential for physical injury with activity. Monitor patient's sleep pattern and amount of sleep achieved over past few days B. Perform techniques to enhance activity tolerance Assess emotional response to change in physical status. Injury may be related to falls or overexertion. Difficulties sleeping need to be addressed before activity progression can be achieved Depression over inability to perform required activities can further aggravate the activity intolerance. Rest between activities provides time for energy conservation and recovery.
Encourage adequate rest periods, especially before meals, other ADLs, exercise sessions, and ambulation. Assist with ADLs as indicated; however, avoid doing for patient what he or she can do for self.
