"With Impaired Tissue Integrity you are expecting to find open entryway in the skin, incisions, cuts, etc. Often with cellulitis there is weeping of serum from the edematous tissues because they are so swollen. However, the correct diagnosis to use in those cases is Impaired Skin Integrity (Impaired Skin integrity) since only the epidermal areas of the skin are involved. If there is no weeping of the skin and fluid only is being retained" so i dont think i can use impaired tissue integrity. but thanks tho!!

yes i need nursing dx that i can do interventions for it. i only can think of this one: Ineffective breathing pattern related to inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue of left side of the face he didnt have fever and his pain was control! thats why it is so hard for me to do the careplan!!!
