    The patient reported feeling tired. Their vital signs were taken and showed a temperature of 36.5 degrees C, pulse of 65 bpm, respiration of 16 bpm, and blood pressure of 110/80. After 8 hours of nursing intervention focusing on assessing sleep patterns, establishing a schedule, identifying energy conservation techniques, monitoring physiological response to activity, encouraging nutrition, and providing physical or occupational therapy if needed, the patient was expected to report an improved sense of energy, participate in desired activities at their ability level, and identify ways to control and conserve their energy.

    technique
    Establish realistic activity goals with patient.

    Scientific Rationale
    Multiple factors can aggravate fatigue, including
    sleep deprivation, emotional distress, side
    effects of drugs and chemotherapies, and
    developing CNS disease.
    Planning allows patient to be active during times
    when energy level is higher, which may restore
    a feeling of well-being and a sense of control.
    Frequent rest periods are needed to restore or
    conserve energy.
    Provides for a sense of control and feelings of
    accomplishment. Prevents discouragement
    from fatigue of overactivity.

    Identify energy conservation techniques: sitting, Weakness may make ADLs almost impossible for
    breaking ADLs into manageable segments.

    Encourage nutritional intake.

    Refer to physical and/or occupational therapy.


    Provide supplemental O2 as indicated.

    Adequate intake or utilization of nutrients is


    necessary to meet increased energy needs for
    activity. Continuous stimulation of the immune
    system by HIV infection contributes to a
    hypermetabolic state.
    Programmed daily exercises and activities help
    patient maintain and increase strength and
    muscle tone, enhance sense of well-being.
    Presence of anemia or hypoxemia reduces
    oxygen available for cellular uptake and
    contributes to fatigue.

    Evaluation
    After 8 hours of
    nursing
    intervention, the
    patient was to
    report improved
    sense of energy;
    participated in
    desired activities
    at level of ability;
