NANDA-I NURSING DIAGNOSES: Definitions & Classification 2009-2011. Click here to buy.
NANDA International has approved more than 200 diagnoses for clinical use, testing, and refinement. A dynamic, international process of diagnosis review and classification approves and updates terms and definitions for identified human responses.
NANDA International has developed a nursing practice taxonomy with domain and class structure.
A second taxonomy, the NNN Taxonomy, developed in collaboration with the Nursing Classification Center at the University of Iowa (USA), allows for the placement of
NANDA International diagnoses in an organizing framework that accommodates interventions and outcomes from the Nursing Interventions Classification (
NIC) and the Nursing Outcomes Classification (
NOC), thus creating a comprehensive language system capable of documenting nursing care in a safe standardized manner. (
NANDA International, 2005)

A nursing diagnosis is "a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems/life processes.
A nursing diagnosis provides the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse has accountability" (
NANDA International, 2009)
Nursing Diagnoses are both actual (including problems and health promotion foci) and potential (at risk for development). The elements of an actual
NANDA-I diagnosis are the label, the definition of the diagnosis, the defining characteristics (signs and symptoms), and the related factors (causative or associated). The elements of a potential diagnosis as defined by
NANDA are the label, definition, and the associated risk factors. (
