A nursing diagnosis is a standardized statement about the health of a client (who can be an individual, a family, or a community) for providing nursing care. Nursing diagnoses are developed based on data obtained during the nursing assessment.
The main organization for defining standard diagnoses in North America is the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, now known as NANDA-International. Other international associations are AENTDE (Spanish), AFEDI (French language), and ACENDIO (Europe).
Nursing diagnoses are part of a movement in nursing to standardize the terminology involved. This includes standard descriptions of diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes. Nurses who support of standardized terminology believe that it will help nursing become more scientific and evidence-based. Other nurses feel that nursing diagnoses are an ivory tower mentality and help neither in care planning nor in differentiating nursing from medicine.
