Distinguishes the nurse’s role from that of the physician or other health care provider Helps nurses focus on the scope of nursing practice Nursing Diagnoses: Types Focus on actual patient problems (problem-focused diagnosis) Risk nursing diagnosis: problem does not exist but the risk for one does Health promotion diagnosis: patient’s readiness to improve an aspect of health Syndrome diagnosis: cluster of individual nursing diagnoses that occur at the same time. Can be a combination of problem and risk. Are addressed at the same time. Actual describes human responses to health conditions or life processes that exists/occurs in an Nursing individual, family, or community. Diagnosis At Risk describes human responses to health conditions or life processes that may develop in an individual, family, or Nursing community. Diagnosis Health Promotion identifies a person’s, family’s or community’s motivation and DESIRE to increase well-being using Related to health behaviors nutrition exercise Nursing Diagnosis: How to ANALYZE THE DATA INTERPRETATION OF THE IDENTIFIES THE PROBLEM DEVELOP A STATEMENT ASSESSMENT DATA AREA REVEALS THE PATIENT’S RESPONSE TO A HEALTH PROBLEM THE PATIENT’S PROBLEM IT INCLUDES THE STATEMENT IS CALLED THE DIAGNOSTIC LABEL NURSING DIAGNOSIS. (PROBLEM) + ETIOLOGY (CAUSE, SET OF CAUSES, RISK FACTORS) + THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS (SYMPTOMS)  Diagnostic Label Description of patient’s response to specific condition Problem statement Focus of planning and goal setting Nursing Example: dry mouth, confusion, constipation Diagnosi s Etiology Likely causes of the patient problem Example: activity intolerance – bedrest, immobility, weakness, etc. Constipation – change in eating pattern, insufficient flid intake Nausea – earl pregnancy  “Related to” is the Etiology Etiology is the cause of this problem for the patient Use the same Nursing Diagnosis for many different patients but individualize it based on the cause. E= Example: Medical diagnosis: Post operative Etiology appendectomy Nursing Diagnosis: Pain related to disruption of skin integrity Example: Medical Diagnosis: Fractured tibia Nursing Diagnosis: Pain related to disruption of bone integrity Nursing Diagnosis Labels Example Nursing Diagnosis: Impaired Physical Actual Problems: Mobility Actual patient data: Patient Cannot Walk Add “Risk for” to the beginning of the Nursing Diagnosis statement At Risk Problems: Example Nursing Diagnosis: Risk for Impaired Physical Mobility Actual data: If you determine the patient may develop difficulty walking  Risk Factors-Do not have a current problem, they are potential problems Risk for Let’s do one: Nursing Patient data: Patient takes Diagnosi prescribed opioid drugs for surgical pain s Label Thinking: What is a side effect of opioid drugs? (GI problem)  P = Problem Label – Nursing Diagnosis (NANDA) Nursing E = What is it related to? – Diagno Etiology or cause or pathophysiology sis Format S = “as evidenced by”- signs/symptoms from patient’s assessment (what data points led you to this?) P = Label of Problem Mobility - Impaired Physical Mobility Elimination - Constipation Comfort - Acute pain Oxygenation - Impaired gas exchange Perfusion - Decreased cardiac output Elimination -Urinary retention Which above NURSING DIAGNOSIS would you select for a patient experiencing the MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS Pneumonia? E= Etiology Etiology or cause guides the nurse to select nursing interventions directed toward correcting the cause of the problem or minimizing the patient’s risk S = Signs/Symptoms Then insert the assessment data “As evidence by” gathered that led you to this nursing diagnosis  1.
