Can anyone direct me to an online source of approved NANDA diagnoses? I understand new ones have been added for 2006.


Thanks!

We use PES format also. Problem R/T Etiology AEB Symptoms. This is a nursing diagnosis, not a medical one, so don't use medical terms such as pneumonia, bronchitis, appendicitis etc... We were also told that it is preferred to have more than one R/T and AEB.

our aeb=as evidenced by. Same difference though

We use the Ackley book. It helps with activities and rationales but not all that great with the related to.

Our instructor explained it to us that the related to is like the cause of the diagnosis. But the related to has to be in the present nothing in the past. It can't be a medical diagnosis and it has to be something that the nurse can do something about. For example, Disturbed sleep pattern r/t pain. Pain is in the present, not a medical diagnosis and something that nurses can do something about.

The AEBs are your signs and symptoms of your NANDA. A bunch of students in my class would get mixed up with the AEBs. The would give s/s of the r/t and not the NANDA. For example, Disturbed sleep pattern r/t pain AEB client states "I only sleep 3 hours per night".

Wow, this really is great! I have a care plan due on Tuesday, and I think this will help me. It's funny, most of our books are from Elsevier, except the care plan book (Cox). Thanks for the great resource, ELK!

We used AEB- as evidenced by............. (whatever!)
Here is an awesome book, it has been my bible for nursing school and I will never give it up! It is The Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice, 7th ed. It is worth every penny (not as $ as some of the books I have bought through school. I found it when I was desperate for help my first year/semester and needed a careplan & concept map for a patient w/ kidney transplant rejection. When I saw this book--I kissed it!!!!!!

It will be the nursing DX r\t (what it's related to), aeb (then the signs and symptoms)

Does anyone have any pointers to make this easier??

Thanks in advance!!

My teacher now is all about care plans and nursing dx. He says that related to part is objective information and the evidence by is related to what you see and what is causing the problem. I hope this helps

welcome guys

We are doing "mini mind maps" but basically the same thing as a care plan....

I have several saved on my computer if anyone is interested, the few dxs I can think of off the top of my head are:

gastric bypass
total knee replacement
metatastic cancer..or cancer
intestinal blockage

so if anyone wants to see the care plans/mini mind maps I have for those just let me know

[Hello

Here in Texas we no longer do careplans, but now were are doing concept care mapping, I think it is the same thing.

Did you find someone to help you?
