 ACTIVITY INTOLERANCE [SPECIFY LEVEL] | Inadequate mental or physical energy to accomplish daily activities. Risk factors include debilitating physical conditions such as anemia, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological deficits (such as those following stroke), severe heart disease, chronic pulmonary disease, metabolic disorders, and prolonged sedentary lifestyle. |
| activity intolerance, risk for | At risk of experiencing insufficient physiologic or psychologic energy to endure or complete required or desired daily activities. |
| airway clearance, ineffective | The inability to clear secretions or obstructions from the upper respiratory tract, and thus, to maintain an open, effective airway. |
| allergy response, latex | An allergic response to natural latex rubber products. |
| allergy response, risk for latex | At risk for allergic response to natural latex rubber products. |
| ANXIETY [MILD, MODERATE, SEVERE, PANIC] | An uneasy feeling of discomfort or dread accompanied by an autonomic response; the source is often nonspecific or unknown to the individual; a feeling of apprehension caused by anticipation of danger. It is a potential signal that warns of impending danger and enables the individual to take measures to deal with threat. Recurrence of such reactions that disrupt life when danger does not exist constitute anxiety disorders. These include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder or phobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and procedural anxiety |
| ANXIETY, DEATH | Vague uneasy feeling of discomfort or dread generated by perceptions of a real or imagined threat to one's existence. |
| aspiration, risk for | The state in which an individual is at risk for entry of gastric secretions, oropharyngeal secretions, or exogenous food or fluids into tracheobronchial passages due to dysfunction or absence of normal protective mechanisms. Pathological respiratory aspiration is prevented by placing the unconscious patient (or any other patient without a gag reflex) on his or her left side with the head turned laterally. A head-low position protects the airway, prevents silent regurgitation, and promotes evacuation of mucus or vomitus, e.g., by suctioning the nasopharynx as necessary. |
