factors of

 Identify
strategies for

1. Recorded and
monitored vital
signs.
2. Encouraged the
verbalization of the
patient's feelings
regarding
constraints.
3. Assisted the patient
in progressive
increase of
activities to
gradually
strengthen the
muscles.
4. Encouraged the
patient to

1. This gives the nurse
a baseline and way
to gauge potential
changes and
fluctuations in vital
signs when active.
2. This enables the
patient to cope with
and to address the
underlying causes
of decreased
activity accordingly.
3. This avoids
problems brought
by prolonged bed
rest while building
endurance.
4. Progressively
increasing the
activity's intensity
minimizes
overexertion.
SHORT TERM GOALS:
After 1 hour of nursing intervention, the
patient obtained normal vital signs and was
able to identify potential aggravating factors
of activity intolerance along with identifying
strategies for reducing activity intolerance.
LONG TERM GOALS:
After 24 hours of nursing intervention:
 Patient was able to tolerate activities
of the daily living without assistance.
 Patient was able to maintain a
regular routine for rest and sleep
and has achieved an adequate
sleep.
 Patient was able to verbalize
understanding of the importance of
progressively increasing activity
level and was able to demonstrate
proper way on how to do so.

2. Patients are better able to
ask questions when they
have basic information
about what to expect.
3. Diagnosing a type of
anemia will be based on the
changes in the RBC indexes
and the findings in the bone
marrow aspiration
4. Causative factors such as
alcoholism, exposure to
toxic chemicals, dietary
deficiencies, hereditary and
the use of some
medications can affect red

lead to aplastic anemia
