Rationale 2: The second part of the nursing diagnosis statement is the etiology (E)the factors contributing to or probable causes and should be joined to the first part, the problem (P), by the words related to rather than due to. The phrase related to implies a relationship between the problem and the cause. In this situation, the cause is unknown, but the problem is evident.

Rationale 4: The third part of the nursing diagnosis statement is the manifested by (S) portion, which includes the signs and symptoms not a generalized statement.
