Nursing Care Plan-1: Medical Diagnoses: Colorectal Cancer

The patient, a 50-year-old male farmer diagnosed with colorectal cancer, reports feeling very tired and weak. After 8 hours of nursing interventions, the patient will report an improved sense of energy. The nurse will have the patient rate his fatigue using a numeric scale and plan care to allow rest periods. The nurse will also assist the patient with self-care needs, encourage increased activity as tolerated, perform pain assessments, and encourage nutritional intake. The goal is for nursing interventions to help the patient develop a plan to manage fatigue and improve his sense of energy.
