Activity intolerance is a diagnosis that indicates a decreased ability to initiate or sustain activity and can be related to physical, emotional, or psychological factors. While the client may indeed be experiencing weakness as a result of the eating disorder, there is no clear evidence from the assessment data that this weakness is directly related to her decreased ability to engage in activities. Therefore, the diagnosis of activity intolerance may not be supported by the data collected. A different diagnosis that better reflects the client's specific strengths and limitations should be considered.
