Medical Diagnosis: Bronchial Asthma Problem: Risk for Activity Intolerance RT Decreased Oxygenation Assessment Subjective: (none) Objective:

y Immobility y Weakness Nursing Diagnosis Risk for Activity Intolerance r/t decrease oxygenation Scientific Explanation Inadequate oxygen in the circulation can develop weakness in our muscles. Muscles need oxygen to move and to do its function. If the patient cannot tolerate any activities because of the low oxygenation caused by the ventilationperfusion imbalance caused by the pathological minimized lung expansion. Planning Choose: Patient will participate willingly in necessary/ desired activities such as deep breathing exercises. Patient will perform ADL s within client s ability and participates in desired activities. Patient will be able to increase activity tolerance AEB attendance of self-care needs. Patient will be able to gradually increase activity within level of ability Interventions Monitor VS. Assess motor function. Note contributing factors to fatigue. Evaluate degree of deficit. Rationale For baseline data. To identify causative factors. To identify precipitating factors. To identify severity. To identify necessity of assistive devices. Stress and/or depression may increase the effects of illness. To reduce fatigue Evaluation Patient will participate willingly in necessary/ desired activities such as deep breathing exercises. Patient will perform ADL s within client s ability and participates in desired activities. Patient will be able to increase activity tolerance AEB attendance of self-care needs. Patient will be able to gradually increase activity within level of ability (change will to shall then shift to past tense)
