4. Consult physical therapy for endurance and musculoskeletal function

Rationale:
The client with shortness of breath will experience activity intolerance due to a lack of oxygen and fatigue. The nurse should consult with physical therapy for endurance and musculoskeletal function. Clients with respiratory disorders often need an increase, not a decrease, in calories to maintain body functions. The client will be weak, so the nurse should not encourage activity or independence with the activities of daily living
