Well... "The NANDA-I terminology is a copyrighted terminology, therefore no part of the NANDA-I publication, NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification, can be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the prior permission of the publisher." Source: Can I republish part or all of the NANDA-I terminology (e.g., the list of nursing diagnosis labels or specific diagnoses) in other textbooks, or enter the terms into our electronic health record or other computerized application? Could I translate it into my own language? | NANDA International Knowledgebase Meanwhile: ICD-1

I mean that NANDA pretends to make its diagnoses a normalized standard to provide nursing care around the world. But by the another hand the fact in which NANDA does not provide and free that diagnoses is highly harming to is own purpose. Under the pretext of being able to finance the congresses they are spoiling the opportunity to create a common language for all proffesionals. Why not a free and open source formula? How efficient is a method that requires all proffesionals to buy a very expensive book and licenses? If I make a copy of the NANDA in order to study, disclose or work, I am committing an intellectual property crime. I think that is a paradox a "universal language" with that handicap and it won't improve nursing at all.
