Nursing Diagnosis #3: Self-Care Deficit related to general body weakness, as evidenced by
dependence on assistance from therapist or family members for completing basic self-care tasks.

Goal: Within 8 hours of nursing intervention, the patient will demonstrate an improvement in
performing activities of daily living independently within a specified timeframe.

Expected Outcome:
Within 8 hours, the patient will:
a. Verbalized understanding of techniques and strategies to conserve energy and
manage fatigue.
b. Demonstrate improved strength and endurance as evidenced by increased
participation in self-care activities.

Interventions: Evaluation:

Independent: 1. The patient may demonstrate increased


1. Assess the patient's current level of ability to perform ADLs with minimal
functioning in doing basic self-care tasks assistance. GOAL NOT MET
(Rationale: Understanding the patient's baseline
level of functioning will help in tailoring 2. Patient may experience improvements
interventions to their specific needs and abilities. in muscle strength and mobility.
GOAL NOT MET
2. Provide assistance with self-care tasks as
needed and assess the need for assistive
devices .
(Rationale: Offering assistance as needed
promotes safety and prevents potential injury.
Assessing the need for assistive devices such as
grab bars, shower chairs, or adaptive utensils
facilitates independence in ADLs.)

(Rationale: Ongoing assessment allows for the


tracking of progress, identification of barriers to
independence, and adjustment of interventions to
optimize outcomes.)

Dependent:
1. Administer prescribed medications for
