The monitoring patches are adhesive and can irritate or excoriate the skin, leading to Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity. Intact skin under the lead patches indicates the goal for this diagnosis has been met. The leads should be disconnected by the RN if the client is going to ambulate. Responding to alarms is not a client-centered goal. "Normal cardiac functioning" is too vague to measure and is not related to cardiac monitoring itself.
