Problem #2: Imbalance nutrition less than body requirement r/t inability to ingest food Assessment Nursing Scientific Planning Intervention Rationale Diagnosi Explanation s S: O: The patient manifested: Weakness Pale skin color Fatigue Discomfort Abnormal blood pressure(1 50/80) Poor appetite The patient may manifest: Unusual ly rapid heartbeat, particul arly with exercis e Shortne ss of breath and headac Imbalance nutrition less than body requireme nt r/t inability to ingest food Intake of nutrients insufficient to meet metabolic needs. Adequate nutrition is necessary to meet the bodys demands. Nutritional status can be affected by disease or injury states (e.g., gastrointestinal [GI] malabsorption, cancer, burns); physical factors (e.g., muscle weakness, poor dentition, activity intolerance, pain, substance abuse); social factors (e.g., lack of financial resources to obtain nutritious foods); or Short Term: After 2 hours of NI, the pt will be able to demonstrate behaviors, lifestyle changes to regain and/or maintain appropriate weight.

psychological factors (e.g., depression, boredom). During times of illness (e.g., trauma, surgery, sepsis, burns), adequate nutrition plays an important role in healing and recovery. Cultural and religious factors strongly affect the food habits of patients. Women exhibit a higher incidence of voluntary restriction of food intake secondary to anorexia, bulimia, and selfconstructed fad dieting. Patients who are elderly likewise experience problems in nutrition related to lack of financial resources, cognitive
