activity intolerance   state which patient experiences an inability, physiologically and psychologically, to tolerate activity  
🗑
most activity intolerance is r/t...   generalized weakness and debilitation secondary to acute or chronic illness and disease  
🗑
defining characteristics for altered response to activity   dyspnea, shortness of breath, abnormal HR and BP response to activity, failure for VS to return to resting rate after 3minutes, weakness, fatigue  
🗑
risk factors for peripheral vascular disease: Arterial   obesity, smoking, stress, family history  
🗑

🗑

🗑
S&S of hypoventilation   mental status changes, dysrhythmias, cardiac arrest  
🗑

pneumothorax   collection of air in pleural space as a result of chest trauma  
🗑
