you can search for nursing diagnoses by medical diagnosis - go under start new plan and search for your condition alphabetically (symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, interventions & clinical states: [color=#990000]a-b | [color=#990000]c-g | [color=#990000]h-o | [color=#990000]p-z )

good luck!

it doesn't much matter what the patient's medical diagnosis is except to help you understand underlying pathophysiology. any diagnosis, whether it is a medical diagnosis, nursing diagnosis, a car mechanic's decision about what is wrong your car or a plumber's determination about why your toilet won't flush is based upon what they find after investigating the facts and examining the problem. nursing diagnoses, specifically, have a whole written taxonomy (a classification, arrangement or ordering of the nursing diagnoses into logical groupings) that has been done for us by nanda. to choose a nursing diagnosis for a patient you need to have a listing of their symptoms (nanda calls them defining characteristics) that you obtained from doing your assessment (physical exam and review of their medical record) and then checking a nursing diagnosis reference book to verify that the patient has symptoms that are included under any nursing diagnosis you have decided to use. they are not the same as medical diagnoses and have different criteria (symptoms).

so, in order to diagnose this patient you need to know what their symptoms are. what are the patient's symptoms?
