I have a question on my homework assignment that I am having trouble understanding what they want. The question is as follows: The NANDA Nursing Diagnoses are classified and formulated to address the patient's health problems which can be: the there are four numbered lines to answer. I am not necessarily looking for the answers, but where I would look to find the answers. I have looked in my book Applying Nursing Process by Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Jennifer

This is in the NANDA taxonomy framework which divides all the nursing diagnoses into the following 4 domains:

  1. Functional - basic needs
  2. Physiological - biophysical health
  3. Psychosocial - mental and emotional health and social functioning
  4. Environmental - environmental health and safety

This information was found in NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification 2007-2008 pages 282 - 294.

Thank you, I appreciate your information and have gained some insight from your other postings. I do not have the NANDA book, but I will go out and get one now. Thanks again.

You are not going to find it in a bookstore. It has to be ordered directly from NANDA. If my answer is correct it should be in your book, I would think. The taxonomy of diagnoses is organized (divided) into domains and classes. That information isn't generally included in the care plan books--at least, I don't think it is.
