Um. . .I don't know where you got that list, but I have the current copy of NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification 2007-2008 published by NANDA International and am a member of NANDA. There are currently 188 nursing diagnoses. Some of the wording on the diagnoses that are listed didn't look right to me, so I started checking the list that has been posted here against my book. I only went through the first 16 pages of the above book and found 5 nursing diagnoses that are not on the list that was posted and 3 of them on the list are NOT worded the way NANDA has worded them.

The list of nursing diagnoses is proprietary and owned by NANDA. It is not supposed to be reprinted without their permission. The best thing for you to do is purchase a current nursing diagnosis book. The one I referenced above is only about $29 and has the most current information in it. If you go to NANDA's website you can purchase it directly from them.

Someone back in September posted a weblink to a current NANDA list on the student forums. Here is the thread:

Does everyone really use NANDA?

These are suggested nursing dx's and have their place, but I always find them severely restricting. Anyone else?

rn_n_training. . .i didn't notice that you are a new member to allnurses. as a student, you should check out the student forums. you can find them by clicking on the "students" tab at the top of any page of allnurses. there are two links related to writing care plans. on one of them i posted specific links to specific nursing diagnosis information (i think it's on the careplans help please! (with the r\t and aeb thread.) these webpage links are on the ackley/ladwig care plan constructor site which is the companion website to their book, nursing diagnosis handbook: a guide to planning care, 7th edition, by betty j. ackley and gail b. ladwig, and consist of 75 of the most commonly used nursing diagnoses. these nursing diagnosis pages contain the same information that is in the book.

if you are having trouble with choosing a nursing diagnosis or writing a care plan please post your questions on the nursing student assistance forum or the general nursing student discussion forum where i am more likely to find it. you can find information about writing care plans and nursing diagnoses on these two threads in the student forums:

Use of NANDA is per facility policy. It is the popular thing to use because NANDA has it all written down and organized. Prior to NANDA, nursing problems for care plans had not been systematically organized. Prior to NANDA we just wrote down the patient's problems or needs and you sometimes had to sit there and think of how you wanted to word it for the care plan. As you wrote you sometimes realized that two different problems were really part of the same problem. What NANDA has done was do away with that time sitting there thinking about what to write. With a NANDA reference book, you just copy down and write the diagnosis. Recently, they've started using the term nursing terminology. What they are trying to do is standardize the words that we use. The ultimate goal is to provide time-saving for us in writing care plans. Another goal is to be able to input these words into the computer as the patient's charts become electronically stored. Since care plans are mandated to be in every acute hospital patient chart, this is part of the contribution NANDA is trying to make. The problem I see is that so much of what NANDA has done to this point has gotten lost in all the scholarly part of it. Taxonomy of nursing diagnoses, which is what NANDA is pretty much loses most people. The wording "taxonomy" alone is scary. Part of the problem is that nurses have to understand the underlying principle of the nursing process. I see it all the time on the student forums. Students ask first about what nursing diagnosis to use for a patient and totally ignore what goes into determining a nursing diagnosis for the patient in the first place. That, I think, is a fault of the educational system. If I ever go on to get my Master's or PhD degree my thesis will be about the teaching of the nursing process. The nursing process is how we problem solve. A care plan is how we physically document the problem solving process. Nursing diagnosis is just one kind of tool we use to state nursing problems in the care plan. The nursing process isn't much different from the medical decision-making process that physicians use. Physicians don't have an official printed taxonomy of medical diagnoses that they are taught in medical school that I know of. It isn't much different from the problem solving process that plumbers use except they don't have an official listing of plumbing diagnoses that I know of either!

We use them in all charting. They';re actually very helpful, which I never thought I'd believe.

Daytonite, I got that list somewhere off the 'net and edited it to fit it into something small enough to fit in my pocket organizer. Thanks for finding a correct list.
