I'm looking for some help with "verbage." My pt in the NICU is 43 DOL x23wk PTNB. PDA ligation, GRII IVH, RDS, perforated NEC
This is what I have for two of my problem statements:
Impaired gas exchange r/t immaturity of pulmonary muscularity AEB desaturations x3 in 70s in 1 hour secondary to RDS.
-What is the proper way to clean up my AEB?
Ineffective Thermoregulation r/t inability to maintain or increase body weight AEB weight decrease from 925g to 900g overnight secondary to RDS.
or
Ineffective Thermoregulation r/t insufficient adipose tissue AEB inability to maintain axillary temp between 36.2-36.5 inside incubator secondary to RDS.
I have to come up with 6 problems statements and have ideas for the others but would like to get these two solid. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No clue. But I'm jealous that you get a NICU placement!
