Wish it was a NANDA diagnosis


At our hospital, we have a canned list of NANDA diagnoses to choose from, which is woefully inadequate. Here's some I think they should add -- what about you guys?

Failure to get their crap together

Ineffective illicit drug usage (not stoned enough to die, not sober enough to figure out lying down in the middle of the main highway was a bad thing)

Infantile behavior, disorganized (no, I'm your nurse, not your mommie)

Deficient knowledge d/t being a complete egotistical jerk and not realizing it

Alcoholic fluid volume deficit (if we get him a drink, he won't go into the DT's and we can get him outta here)

Risk for peripheral digital injury (grab me again, I'll break your hand)

Risk for aspiraton d/t client induced self care deficit (to stoned to roll out of the puke puddle)

Saw these years ago in a nursing humor magazine (yes, there was one, once):

Alteration in cardiac output, none
Tissue Perfusion, cessation in
Soul extravasation realated to extracorporeal transmutation
Mobility, alteration in, related to rigor mortis

(From The Journal of Nursing Jocularity, Vol. 6, No. 1, Spring 1996, pg. 28)

Funny. Sounds like they need to be added to the DSM.

Here's one about recurrent UTIs a pal from NS came up with when we were doing our maternity clinicals (sorry but its a bit crude):
Knowledge deficit related to wiping your @$$ the wrong way secondary
to not knowing the difference between your @$$ and your vagina
