level
 Defining Characteristics (AEB): use of
accessory muscles, capillary refill longer
than 3 seconds, abnormal ABGs, chest
pain, sense of impending doom,
bronchospasm, dyspnea, dysrhythmias,
nasal flaring, chest retraction.

Ineffective Tissue Perfusion: Cardiopulmonary
Cont’d

Related Factors (R/T): Hypovolemia,
interruption of arterial flow, hypervolemia,
exchange problems, interruption of venous
flow, mechanical reduction of venous and/or
arterial blood flow, hypoventilation, impaired
transport of oxygen across alveolar and/or
capillary membrane, mismatch of ventilation
with blood flow, decreased hemoglobin
concentration in blood, enzyme poisoning,
altered affinity of hemoglobin of oxygen

Ineffective Tissue Perfusion: Interventions
Assess for signs of decreased tissue perfusion:
CP, clammy skin, dyspnea, feelings of impending
doom. RA: Indicative of inadequate blood supply
to myocardium (A&L p269)
Administer nitroglycerin SL and oxygen as
ordered. RA: This improves myocardial perfusion
(http://www1.us.elsevierhealth.com/MERLIN/Gulanick/Const
ructor/index.cfm?plan=55
Teach client/family about medications, their
regimen, actions, and side effects. RA:
Appropriate instruction increases accuracy &
safety of medication administration. (A&L p 904)
Teach client/family importance and methods of
lifestyle modification and dietary modifications for
smoking cessation, hyperlipidemia control, HTN
control. RA: All these risk factors for
atherosclerosis can be modified. (A&L p 1237)
Anticipate need for possible embolectomy, heparinization, vasodilator
therapy, thrombolytic therapy, and fluid rescue. RA: These facilitate
perfusion when obstruction to blood flow exists or when perfusion has
dropped to such a danger level that ischemic damage would be
inevitable without treatment.

1.
Client will demonstrate
adequate tissue perfusion
as evidenced by: skin
warm & dry, absence of
dyspnea, absence of chest
pain, & absence of feelings
of impending doom within
2 hours of admission.
1. Goal Partially Met. Client skin
warm and dry, no c/o dyspnea, chest
pain resolved, and feelings of
impending doom resolved within 8
hours of admission.

knowledge of treatment
regimen including lifestyle
modifications, medical
nutrition therapy, and
medication regimen
actions and possible side
effects before discharge
from acute care.
2. Goal Met. Client verbalizes
understanding of activity and dietary
changes needed to modify risks for CAD
and verbalizes understanding of
medications, their actions and side effects
prior to discharge to home.
Activity Intolerance

Definition: Insufficient physiological or
psychological energy to endure or complete
required or desired daily activities.
 Defining Characteristics (AEB): Verbal report
of fatigue or weakness, abnormal heart rate or
blood pressure response to activity, exertional
discomfort or dyspnea, electrocardiographic
changes reflecting arrhythmias or ischemia.
Activity Intolerance - Cont’d

Related Factors (R/T): Bed rest or
immobility, generalized weakness,
sedentary lifestyle, imbalance between
oxygen supply and demand.

Client will demonstrate increased

report of fatigue and decreased
exertional dyspnea by time of
discharge.
Client will verbalize an
understanding of the need to
gradually increase activity based
on testing, tolerance, and
symptoms by end of second day
of admission.
Activity Intolerance : Interventions
Consider us of the 6-minute walk test to determine
physical ability. RA: The 6-minute walk test was
shown to be highly reproducible in determining
ability to ambulate in a client in Heart Failure.
(A&L p 152)
Provide emotional support and encouragement
to the client to gradually increase activity. RA:
Fear of breathlessness, pain, or falling may
decrase willingness to increase activity. (A&L
151)
Allow for periods of rest before and after planned
exertion periods. RA: Limited exercise toleratnce
in heart failure is often the first and central clinical
feature, reflecting both decreased cardiac and
peripheral responses. (A&L 152)
Refer to cardiac rehab program for education,
evaluation, and support to increase activity and
rebuild life. RA: Exercise can help many client
with heart failure. A carefully monitored
exercise program can improve both exercise
capacity and quality of life in mild to moderate
heart failure clients (A&L 152)
Help client to set up an activity log to record
exercise and exercise tolerance. RA: Will help
client to understand his level of activity tolerance.
