Definitions and Classification

A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about a human response to health conditions or life processes that nurses are licensed or certified to treat. Nursing diagnoses are based on the assessment of data collected from the patient, family, and other sources. They are used to plan and evaluate nursing care.

The NANDA-I nursing diagnoses are classified into 13 domains, which are:

• Health Promotion
• Nutrition
• Elimination
• Activity/Rest
• Perception/Cognition
• Self-Perception
• Role Relationship
• Sexuality
• Coping/Stress Tolerance
• Safety/Protection
• Comfort
• Growth/Development
• Fluid and Electrolytes

Each nursing diagnosis has a definition, a set of defining characteristics, and a list of related factors. The definition describes the essential features of the nursing diagnosis. The defining characteristics are the signs and symptoms that are used to identify the nursing diagnosis. The related factors are the conditions that can contribute to or exacerbate the nursing diagnosis.

Use in Nursing Practice

Nursing diagnoses are used by nurses in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home health agencies. They are used to:

• Identify patient problems
• Plan nursing care
• Evaluate nursing care
• Communicate with other healthcare professionals
• Document patient care

Nursing diagnoses are an essential part of nursing practice. They help nurses to provide safe and effective care to their patients.
