Activity Intolerance Care Plan

(1) The patient presents with activity intolerance, exertional dyspnea, crackles on the left lung field, and a productive cough. (2) The plan is for rest, monitoring of vital signs and respiratory status, deep breathing exercises, positioning to improve lung expansion, and limiting activity to avoid fatigue. (3) The rationale is to allow the lungs to heal by reducing stress and metabolic demands through rest, while techniques like coughing, breathing exercises, and positioning enhance gas exchange and secretion removal.
