This document discusses nursing diagnosis, including its evolution, purpose, definition, components, types, prioritization, case studies, errors to avoid, limitations, and overcoming barriers. Specifically, it outlines how nursing diagnosis evolved from Fry's identification in 1953 as a tool for individualized care to NANDA developing new diagnoses in 1998. The purpose is to identify areas nurses can resolve, demonstrate professional judgment, and promote accountability. A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about an individual's response to health problems.

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Presented by P. Arul valan Lecturer, SXCCON
Evolution of nursing process Fry (1953) identified that nursing diagnosis is a tool for individualizing patient care. First National Conference for the Classification of Nursing Diagnoses, (1973). American Nurses Association (ANA) published Standards of Nursing Practice (1973). North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA), 1982. NANDA developed 21 new nursing diagnoses and revised 37 existing diagnoses (1998).
Purpose of nursing process Identifies areas that nurses can resolve or enhance. Demonstrates professional judgment. Organizes decision making as part of the nursing process. Promotes accountability. Provides communication among nurses and other health care personnel. Promotes use of standardized language and process. A means to individualize care. Provides a mechanism for conducting nursing research.
Definition of a Nursing Diagnosis (NANDA, 1996) A nursing diagnosis is defined as a clinical judgment about an individual, family or community responses to actual and potential health problems/life processes. Nursing diagnosis provide the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable. (NANDA, 2009)
Comparison of Medical and Nursing Diagnoses Medical diagnosis is the terminology used for a clinical judgment by the physician that identifies or determines a specific disease, condition, or pathologic state.

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. Nurses are overworked and have less time with clients. Care is still organized around the medical diagnosis.
Limitations of Nursing Diagnosis Nurses are afraid they may be ridiculed for using nursing diagnoses. The nursing diagnosis list does not always fit the client situation. 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.
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.
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.
