I'm sure Daytonite will be along soon....but it should be Ineffective tissue perfusion: cerebral and the R/T should the main cause and altered sensation is not the the cause of the ineffective tissue perfusion...then the AEB should be all the signs/symptoms.

Does this sound right?! I am doing a care plan on a pt who came in with numbness in r arm, increased BP, abnormal ECG, low K
admit diagnosis is acute TIA
my nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion r/t altered sensation in extremities and decreased cerebral blood flow
goal: the pt will have adequate perfusion of the tissues (?)
I may having a hard time w/the goal
Thanks!

to properly diagnose and word this nursing diagnostic statement you must know the pathophysiology of a tia because it is the etiology, or related factor (the r/t part), of the diagnostic statement. this r/t (related to) part of the diagnostic statement answers the question of "why" the problem (nursing diagnosis) exists.
