Study Notes
Status of Nursing Diagnosis
- Refers to the actuality or potentiality of the problem/syndrome
- Can be actual, health promotion, risk, or syndrome diagnosis
Types of Nursing Diagnoses
- Actual Diagnosis: a client problem that is present at the time of the nursing assessment, associated with signs and symptoms
- Example: Ineffective breathing pattern and anxiety
- Health Promotion Diagnosis: relates to the client's preparedness to implement behaviors to improve their health condition
- Example: Readiness for enhanced nutrition
- Risk Nursing Diagnosis: a clinical judgment that the problem does not exist, but the presence of risk factors indicates that a problem is likely to develop unless there is an intervention
- Example: Risk for infection
- Syndrome Diagnosis: a clinical judgment that describes a cluster of nursing diagnoses that have similar interventions
- Currently, seven syndrome diagnoses are on the NANDA International list
Components of NANDA Nursing Diagnosis
- Problem and Definition: describes the client's health problem or response for which nursing therapy is given
- Etiology: identifies one or more probable causes of the health problem, gives direction to the required nursing therapy, and enables individualized client care
- Defining Characteristics: a cluster of signs and symptoms that indicates the presence of a particular diagnostic label
Importance of Accurate Nursing Diagnosis
- Essential to avoid diagnostic errors
- Requires critical thinking skills, verifying data, building a good knowledge base, and clinical experience
- Nurses must validate data with the client and compare signs and symptoms to NANDA defining characteristics
