Why doesn't your prof want nanda? Nanda and their nics and nocs guide my care planning.

I do have professors who want the interventions to be achievable by the end of my clinical day, which results in my using some "fluffy" interventions, such as explore factors that increase anxiety by verbally discussing this with the client. Or, teach the client about the use of prns.

I still use my nanda/nic/nocs. Those are my guide posts in care planning.

I think your prof means not to find exact interventions in a nursing diagnosis book, but to figure out some interventions that fit your particular patients. A nursing diagnosis is required, however.

Maybe you've already figured this out, since you posted awhile ago?

Consider what the patient is experiencing. Is there a nursing diagnosis that fits? What does your patient need most from you as a nurse that relates to this? That's where the interventions come from.
