Study Notes
Nursing Diagnosis
- A nursing diagnosis is a statement of a health problem that a nurse is licensed to treat.
- It describes human responses to disease processes or health problems and is oriented to the client.
- The nurse is responsible for diagnosing, treatment orders, and actions.
Components of a Nursing Diagnosis
- Problem statement (diagnostic label) and definition
- Describes the client’s health problem or response
- Needs to be specific
- May include qualifiers (e.g., deficient, impaired, decreased, ineffective, compromised)
- Etiology (related factors and risk factors)
- Identifies one or more probable causes of the health problem
- Different causes may require different nursing interventions
- Defining characteristics
- Cluster of signs and symptoms indicating the presence of a particular diagnostic label (actual diagnoses)
- Factors that cause the client to be more vulnerable to the problem (risk diagnoses)
Nursing Diagnosis vs. Medical Diagnosis
- Nursing diagnosis: describes human responses to disease processes or health problems, oriented to the client
- Medical diagnosis: describes disease and pathology, oriented to pathology
Collaborative Problems
- Potential problems that nurses manage using independent and physician-prescribed interventions
- Involve human responses mainly to physiologic complications of disease, tests, and treatments
- Oriented to pathophysiology
- Nurse and physician diagnose, physician orders definitive treatment

- Diagnosing
- Other steps not specified in the text
NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association)
- Established in 1973 to define, refine, and promote a taxonomy of nursing diagnostic terminology
- Purpose: to identify, develop, and refine nursing diagnoses
Forms of Writing Nursing Diagnoses
- Basic two-part statement: Problem (P) and Etiology (E)
- Basic three-part statement: Problem (P), Etiology (E), and Signs and symptoms (S)
