The patient reports feeling tired and prone to infections. A nursing assessment found overwhelming lack of energy, inability to maintain routines, and decreased performance. The nurse diagnosed fatigue potentially related to decreased energy production, increased energy demands, psychological stress, or medication side effects. The nursing care plan includes encouraging rest, prioritizing activities, teaching energy conservation, stress management, and evaluating fatigue levels with any new medications.

PAGLINAWAN, REIA MARIZ O. BSN III-3 ASSESSMENT Subjective: I always feel tired and lately Im prone to infections.
Objective: y Over whelming lack of energy y Inability to maintain usual routines y Decreased performance DIAGNOSIS Fatigue may be related to decrease metabolic energy production, increased energy requirements, overwhelming psychological and emotional demands, and altered body chemistry such as side effects of medication or insulin resistance.

NURSING CARE PLAN INFERENCE Human immunodeficiency virus is a particle that has an outer envelope with special docking proteins known as gp41 and gp120 that assist in finding a host. Inside the virus have two protein coatings and the generic material with reverse transcriptase (RT) attached. The first challenge is for the HIV particle to get inside a host cell. HIV accomplishes this task by finding a way into the hosts blood stream. One of the cells that it hijacks is the CD4+ lymphocytes, also known as the CD4+ cell, helper/inducer Tcall, or T4-cell. This cell directs PLANNING INTERVENTION RATIONALE y Multiple factors can cause and aggravate fatigue, including sleep deprivation, emotional distress, side effects of drugs, and developing central nervous system disease. y Fatigue is present in variable degrees as part of HIV infection process but is often aggravated by nutritional deficiencies and side effects of certain medications. y Helpful in planning activities within tolerance levels. EVALUATION After 8 hours of nursing interventions, the patient reported improved sense of energy; participate in desired activities at level of ability and identify individual areas of control and engage in energy conservation techniques.
