Objective Conscious and coherent body weakness restless poor appetite with limited ROM ambulatory c assistance Nursing Diagnosis Activity Intolerance; Level related to difficulty walking secondary to body weakness Analysis Most activity intolerance is related to generalized weakness and debilitation secondary to acute or chronic illness and disease. This is especially apparent in elderly patients with a history of orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, diabetic, or pulmonary- related problems. The aging process itself causes reduction in muscle strength and function, which can impair the ability to maintain activity. Activity intolerance may also be related to factors such as obesity, malnourishment, side effects of medications (e.g., -blockers), or emotional states such as depression Planning Patient will improve mobility participation in the activities of daily living. Interventions - establish rapport - place the client in a comfortable position -take and record vital signs -Determine patient's perception of causes of fatigue or activity intolerance. - Assess patient's level of mobility. Rationale - to facilitate NPI. - to prevent backaches or muscle aches. - to note any significant changes that may be brought about by the disease - These may be temporary or permanent, physical or psychological. Assessment guides treatment. - This aids in defining what patient is capable of, which is necessary before setting realistic goals. - Adequate energy reserves are required for activity. - Difficulties sleeping need to be addressed before activity progression can be achieved. - Depression over inability to perform required activities can further aggravate the Evaluation Patient demonstrated improved mobility participation in activity of daily living in which he is capable of.

- Assess nutritional status. - Monitor patient's sleep pattern and amount of sleep achieved over past few days. - Assess emotional response to change in physical status.

- Encourage

adequate rest periods, especially before meals, other ADLs, and ambulation. - Refrain from performing nonessential procedures. -Assist with ADLs as indicated; however, avoid doing for patient what he or she can do for self.

activity intolerance. - Rest between activities provides time for energy conservation and recovery. - Patients with limited activity tolerance need to prioritize tasks. -Assisting the patient with ADLs allows for conservation of energy. Caregivers need to balance providing assistance with facilitating progressive endurance that will ultimately enhance the patient's activity tolerance and selfesteem. -Exercises maintain muscle strength and joint ROM. -These reduce oxygen consumption, allowing more prolonged activity.

-Encourage active ROM exercises three times daily. -Teach energy conservation techniques.

This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (inc reased thirst) and polyphagia (increase d hunger.
