Nursing Care for Fatigue Management

The patient reported feeling very tired and weak. An assessment found fatigue, weakness, disinterest and normal vital signs.

Nursing interventions included assisting with needs, encouraging activity and nutrition. After 3 hours the patient reported an improved sense of energy.
