NCP - Activity Intolerance

The patient is experiencing ineffective tissue perfusion related to vasoconstriction of blood vessels. The nurse will monitor the patient's blood pressure, instruct a low salt diet, assist with position changes, and administer antihypertensive medication as ordered. Interventions also include promoting early ambulation, exercising the legs, and instructing the patient to avoid rubbing the affected extremity in order to improve the patient's tissue perfusion and control their blood pressure.
