Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing diagnosis suggests that the patient's activity intolerance is related to weight gain and inactivity. Therefore, an appropriate outcome for the patient would be to perform exercise three to four times over the next two-week period in order to increase activity levels and improve tolerance. Resting heart rate and blood pressure are important physiological measures, but they do not directly address the nursing diagnosis or outcome in question. Similarly, patient enjoyment of exercise may be important for ongoing motivation, but it is not a specific outcome related to addressing activity intolerance.
