Oct 17, 2009 I assume you need help with your "As Evidenced By"?Remember, your AEB is anything and everything you see, hear, smell...It can be something your patient says, lab work values, an order the Doctor has issued.Example: Activity Intolerance r/t pneumonia AEB the patients states he has no energy, the patient starts sweating and shaking when performing ADLs, and the Doctor has ordered PT evaluations.Hope that helps.

It's been a while since I've needed them -- lent mine to a CNA O worked with and she never returned them.

Maybe it is fine the way it is, but I thought that the r/t can't be a medical diagnosis... But maybe that was just the first part that couldn't be medical.... Just my input.

No medical diagnosis as your "related to".
