When an adult rises to the standing

position, blood pools in the lower
extremities and symptoms of CNS
hypoperfusion may occur.

2. Adjust clients daily

activities and reduce
intensity of level.
To prevent strain and overexertion.

To conserve energy and promote

safety.

4. Make sure call light is

within patient reach.
To identify necessity of assistive
devices.

STG: Clients O2
saturation will remain
higher than 90%
throughout the shift.

1. Assess BP when the
patient gets up from bed.

5. Teach and assist in use

conscious controlled
breathing techniques
during PT.
Inspiratory muscle training is
effective in increasing endurance
of the client and decreasing
dyspnea

6. Use pulse oximetry to

monitor O2 saturation.
Pulse oximetry is a useful tool to
detect changes in oxygenation.
O2 saturation should be maintained
at 90% or greater

LTG: By
discharge the
client will report
minimal discomfort in
breathing efforts.

7. Reposition the patient
