Abstract

Fatigue is a significant clinical problem for medical-surgical patients experiencing acute and chronic health problems. Fatigue can cause nutritional intake to suffer and compromises overall functional status. A thorough assessment of the factors associated with a patient's fatigue enables the nurse to develop a fatigue management plan and implement other strategies to minimize the negative consequences of fatigue.
