Newborn Care Plan

I am having trouble coming up with a related to for my impaired skin integrity nursing diagnoses. I have to do a care plan on a newborn with a small questionable sacral tuft and dimple and erythema toxicum. The related to cannot be the actual medical diagnoses itself. :banghead:

the "related to" part of the nursing diagnosis is always the etiology, or underlying cause, of the problem. in this case, the impaired skin integrity. the nanda taxonomy lists the etiologies for this diagnosis--impaired skin integrity. the sacral tuft and dimple are congenital defects, are they not? the erythema toxicum is a common harmless rash seen in newborns that the pathophysiology in the articles on emedicine suggest are related to immune responses. therefore, your diagnostic statement would be worded: impaired skin integrity related to genetic defect and immunologic response aeb [the symptoms]
