There are no set codes for nursing diagnosis or care.

Components of a Nursing Diagnosis
The two-part statement • Problem statement or diagnostic label • Etiology
The diagnostic label and etiology are linked by the term related to (RT).
12-15Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Components of a Nursing Diagnosis
The three-part statement • Diagnostic Label• Etiology • Defining Characteristics
12-16Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
The Three-Part Statement
Defining characteristics are the signs and symptoms, subjective and objective data, or clinical manifestations.
The phrase, “as evidenced by …” (AEB), is joined to the first two components.

Developing a Nursing Diagnosis
Critical thinking is essential to the synthesis and interpretation of information when developing a nursing diagnosis.
12-22Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Developing a Nursing Diagnosis
Assessing the Data Base • Cues are small amounts of data gathered
during assessment.• Cues raise suspicion.• Cues stimulate further observation.• Cues stimulate further data collection.
12-23Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Developing a Nursing Diagnosis
Validating Cues• Verifying subjective and objective data for
accuracy and completeness
Interpreting Cues• Assigning meaning to data cues
Clustering Cues• Grouping related data together
12-24Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Developing a Nursing Diagnosis
Consulting NANDA List of Nursing Diagnoses• The clustered data are matched with a
NANDA diagnosis.
Writing the Nursing Diagnosis Statement• The NANDA list provides the diagnostic
label and etiology.
12-25Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Avoiding Errors in Developing a Nursing Diagnosis
Accurate and complete collection of data. Use of an organizational framework for
clustering data cues. Thorough analysis and validation of data. Correct writing of the nursing diagnosis.

Limitations of Nursing Diagnosis
Lack of consensus among nurses regarding the NANDA-approved nursing diagnosis list.
Disagreement over specific label in the classification system.
Perception that the list is confining, incomplete, medically oriented, confusing.
12-27Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Limitations of Nursing Diagnosis
Nurses are overworked and have less time with clients.
Care is still organized around the medical diagnosis.
Nurses are afraid they may be ridiculed for using nursing diagnoses.
The nursing diagnosis list does not always fit the client situation.
12-28Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Limitations of Nursing Diagnosis
Nurses may be unable or unwilling to use nursing diagnoses because of incomplete knowledge.
If a nursing diagnosis is inappropriate, and as a result, the interventions are inappropriate or lacking, the nurse is liable for these errors in judgment.

Overcoming Barriers to Nursing Diagnosis
Familiarity of nursing diagnosis language empowers the nurse to communicate more effectively.
Health care agency administrators and medical staffs need to be more supportive of the use of nursing diagnoses.
12-30Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Overcoming Barriers to Nursing Diagnosis
Enhanced communication between clinical nurses and leaders will increase the development of nursing diagnoses.
Most nursing education programs offer standardized content related to nursing diagnoses.
Experienced nurses need opportunities to review nursing diagnoses.
12-31Copyright 2004 by Delmar Learning, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.
Overcoming Barriers to Nursing Diagnosis
Every attempt should be made to describe phenomena that do not fit into existing nursing diagnosis language.
The nurse may be on the threshold of documenting a new nursing diagnosis.
