Nursing Interventions for Anemia Fatigue

The nursing interventions were effective in reducing the patient's fatigue related to anemia. Within 30 minutes to 1 hour, the patient was able to use energy conservation techniques. Additionally, within 24-48 hours the patient verbalized a reduction in fatigue as evidenced by increased energy and ability to perform desired activities. The nursing interventions, including oxygen therapy, activity and fatigue logging, nutrition education, and rest promotion helped alleviate the patient's fatigue and anemia symptoms so they could better participate in daily activities.
