by jmqphd Dec 2, '121973: Kristine Gebbie and Mary Ann Lavin call the First Task Force to Name and Classify Nursing Diagnoses. Members plan to meet biannually in St. Louis, MO.
My question is... why? What was the pressing social or professional impetus to standardize nursing diagnosis?

Dec 11, '12 by VickyRNI believe Rutherford in this article makes a good case for standardized language unique to nursing: "...nurses need an explicit language to better establish their standards and influence the regulations that guide their practice..."
Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? - Dec 11, '12 by jmqphdI'm having difficulty with students struggling to find the exact NANDA dx for their patient's problems. Rather than reason through their assessment data and synthesize in their own minds their patient's problems, I see them thumbing through NANDA to find a diagnosis that "fits".
Language has two functions (it seems to me): First... we communicate our thoughts to others (I think this is where NANDA is most significant) and second... it is the way we put sensory data together, retain and categorize it in the cortex. Here I'm finding NANDA to be a hindrance.
I don't think this is what the originators intended. Am I the only educator encountering this?
