History of Nursing Diagnosis
- 1967 Yura and Walsh 4 part process
- Diagnosis was added, you cannot plan and intervene correctly for patients if you do not know the problems with which you are dealing.
- ANA defines nursing as the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to health and illness strengthening the definition of nursing diagnosis.
- NCLEX exam defines nursing process as scientific, clinical reasoning approach to patient care that includes assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Note analysis instead of diagnosis. Types of Nursing Diagnoses

Types of Diagnosis
- Problem-focused nursing diagnosis – clinical judgement concerning undesirable response t health condition/life
- Risk nursing diagnosis clinical judgement concerning vulnerability of individual, family, group, or community for developing undesirable human response to health conditions/life processes.
- Related factor etiological or causative factor for the diagnosis
- Risk nursing diagnosis clinical judgement concerning vulnerability of individual, family, group, or community for developing undesirable human response to health conditions/life processes.

Critical thinking and the diagnostic process
- Data clustering Organize patient’s data into meaningful usable data clusters. Set of cues, signs or symptoms gathered during assessment.
- Data interpretation Comparison of characteristics or risk factors in database. Move from generalized to more specific Compare patient’s data with normal, healthy patterns.
- A nursing diagnosis focuses on a patient’s actual or potential response to a health condition rather than on the physiological event, complication, or disease

Formulating a Nursing Diagnostic Statement
- "related to" phrase is not cause-effect.
- Two part = diagnosis meaning and relevance.
- Three part includes related to factor
- Three part, PES, problem, etiology, symptom
- Three part includes related to factor
- Two part = diagnosis meaning and relevance.
- "related to" phrase is not cause-effect.
Cultural relevance
- Important to consider patient’s culture and own cultural competence to identify health care problems.
Concept mapping
- help critically think about patients diagnoses and how they related to one another.
- Organizes and links info to see holistic complexity of patient care
- Central focus is on patient rather than disease or alteration in health.

Documentation and informatics
- Once diagnosis entered, outcome and intervention options are available (computer based)
- List chronologically as you identify them
- Care plan- highest priority diagnosis first
- Review in order of priority not chronologically

Application to care planning
- Care plan is a map for nursing care
- Demonstrates accountability for nursing diagnosis, patient's health care problems.
