Recently Cephalexin was prescribed for a throat and ear infection. CT Scan normal. Pt ended in ICU with respiratory system compromise because of persistent seizures. Rare side effect of cephalexin is seizures, could this be the cause.

Isn't fatigue a symptom and not a related to factor when looking at actual problem in a nurnsig diagnosis

Hi TazziRN, thanks for replying, but i am not understanding what u are trying to say

hi, while doing a nursing care plan on a patient with CML, one of the nursing diagnosis that we were looking on is: ineffective breathing pattern related to decreased energy or fatigue as manifested by shortness of breath. I was not pleased with the related to factor, however, when i checked my nursing nanda list it was there as a related to factor but knowing the pathophysiology of o CML, i still cannot buy the related to factor. Please i need some help.
