Pain, fatigue, or anxiety can interfere with the ability to pay attention and participate. The nurs-ing diagnosis of activity intolerance related to pain indicates a need to postpone teaching. Teach-ing may be delayed until the nursing diagnosis is resolved or the health problem is controlled. In-effective management of treatment regimen does not indicate a need to postpone teaching. Inef-fective management of treatment regimen reinforces the need for teaching. Noncompliance with prescribed exercise plan does not indicate a need to postpone teaching.
