Measure and evaluate patients’ cardiopulmonary status before and following scheduled activities to identify primary concerns and track improvement/decline status.ģ. Identify if the health condition is severe or minor and short-term or long-term.Ģ. Assess physical health level and potential injuries and/or illnesses. When performing an assessment, several techniques, strategies, and practices can be implemented, including the following:ġ. Assessmentīefore and throughout a patient’s intervention plan, it is important to perform regular assessments to identify potential problems that may have led to activity intolerance and identify any issues that may arise throughout the intervention. The following part of the discussion will focus on assessment techniques and intervention strategies applied to patients to help them reduce and/or recover from their activity intolerance. The patient can maintain regular cardiovascular and respiratory functions during activities.The patient can display physiological improvements over time.The patient can perform basic activities without excessive exhaustion or loss of energy.The patient can display and use effective energy management/conservation techniques.The patient can provide positive verbal feedback in response to the activity level.
The expected outcome of a successful care plan may include: The goal or expected outcome of a proper care plan is to restore the patient’s ability to perform regular activities healthily without experiencing any signs or symptoms of activity intolerance.
Abnormal discomfort or dyspnea during activity.Early signs of fatigue, dizziness, and/or weakness.An imbalance between oxygen supply and demandĪctivity intolerance may be characterized by several symptoms or signs, such as:.Extended bed rest / muscular decline/ immobility.Sedentary lifestyle / deconditioned state.To illustrate further, Here is a list of factors that may be related to activity intolerance: Related factors The following factors that lead to activity intolerance may include side effects of medication, extended bed rest, living a sedentary lifestyle, regular restrictions to healthy activity levels, improper oxygen supply/demand balance, pain, deprived or low-quality sleep, depression, lack of motivation, and severe stress.Īctivity intolerance may also be caused by age-related conditions, especially among elderly patients.
