centered

--The patient benefits from continuity of care, and each nurse's care moves the patient
closer to outcome achievement.
Universally Applicable in Nursing Situations:

As two-part statements listing the patient's problem and it's etiology
-OR-
Three-part statements that also include the problem, it's etiology, and defining
characteristics - answerHow are most nursing diagnoses written?
Phrase the nursing diagnosis as a patient problem or alteration in health state rather
than as a patient need.
Check to make sure that the patient problem precedes the etiology and that the two are
linked by the phrase "related to."
Defining characteristics, when included in the nursing diagnosis, should follow the
etiology and be linked by the phrase "as manifested by" or "as evidenced by."
Write in legally advisable terms.
Use nonjudgmental language.
Be sure the problem statement indicates what is unhealthy about the patient or what the
patient wants to change (enhance).
Avoid using defining characteristics, medical diagnoses, or something that cannot be
changed in the problem statement. - answerNote considerations to utilize when forming

Syndrome - answerNote the five types of nursing diagnoses.
, Actual Nursing Diagnoses - answerThese nursing diagnoses represent problems that
have been validated by the presence of major defining characteristics. This type of
nursing diagnosis has four components: label, definition, defining characteristics, and
related factor.
Risk Nursing Diagnoses - answerThese nursing diagnoses are clinical judgments that a
person, family, or community is more vulnerable to develop the problem than others in
the same or similar situation.
Possible Nursing Diagnoses - answerThese nursing diagnoses are statements
describing a suspected problem for which additional data are needed. Additional data
are used to confirm or rule out the suspected problem.
Wellness Diagnoses - answerThese nursing diagnoses are clinical judgments about a
person, group, or community in transition from a specific level of wellness to a higher
level of wellness. These diagnoses are often more applicable in nursing settings that
deal primarily with healthy patients. The diagnostic statement is a one-part statement
that contains the label Readiness for Enhanced, followed by the desired higher-level
wellness.
1. A desire for a higher level of wellness
2. An effective present status or function - answerWhat two cues must be present for a
valid wellness diagnosis?
Syndrome Nursing Diagnoses - answerThese nursing diagnoses comprise a cluster of
actual or risk nursing diagnoses that are predicted to be present because of a certain
event or situation.
