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
