Why use NANDA-I nursing diagnoses?
A nursing diagnosis is used to determine the appropriate plan of care for the patient. The nursing diagnosis drives interventions and patient outcomes, enabling the nurse to develop the patient care plan. Nursing diagnoses also provide a standard nomenclature… |

Can I add “risk for” to a problem-focused diagnosis to make it a risk diagnosis? Or remove “risk for” from a risk diagnosis to make it a problem-focused diagnosis?
Simply put, the answer to this question is “no.” For example, it is not appropriate to take the problem-focused diagnosis impaired spontaneous ventilation (00033) and add the phrase “risk for” to it to create a risk diagnosis. Conversely, it is not… |

Can I change a nursing diagnosis after it has been documented in a patient record?
Absolutely! As you continue to assess your patient and collect additional data, you may find that your initial diagnosis wasn’t the best one – or your patient’s condition may have resolved. It is very important to continually evaluate your patient to… |

Do I have to use "as manifested by" or "as evidenced by" and "related to" for documenting a nursing diagnosis?
No. While this is a good way of teaching the diagnostic reasoning process, it is not required by NANDA-I. It is sufficient to provide the nursing diagnosis label (e.g., Anxiety), and in fact, many computer systems do not allow the “related to…as evidenced… |

There are several books that use this format. However, we believe the individual nursing assessment is critical to the accurate nursing diagnosis for a patient. It can be helpful to consider nursing diagnoses that tend to cluster with a particular medical… |

How do I find interventions to be used with nursing diagnoses?
Interventions should be directed at the related or etiologic factors whenever possible. Sometimes, however, that is not possible and so interventions are chosen to control symptoms (defining characteristics). An example of this might be the following: Acute… |

How do I write a diagnostic statement for risk, problem-focused and health promotion diagnoses?
When writing a diagnostic statement using the Problem-etiology-symptom (PES) method, we are conveying a lot of information to our colleagues. We start with the diagnosis itself, followed by the etiologic factors (related factors in an actual diagnosis). Finally,… |

How many diagnoses should my patient have?
Students are often encouraged to come up with a list of every possible diagnosis that a patient might have – this is a learning method. However, in practice, it is important to prioritize nursing diagnoses, as these form the basis for nursing interventions.… |
