Accoridng to Yont, Khorshid, & Eser (2009) "Nursing diagnoses ensure that nurses use a professional language in the determination of standards for information sharing, organizing information, decision making, nursing practice, and designating appropriate patient outcomes," (p. 163). Nursing diagnosis play an important role in the nursing process. In the last post we discussed the assessment aspect of the nursing process. This week will be looking at the diagnosis process. Nursing diagnosis play a major role in the nursing process when deciding on a plan of care for the patient. Please read the following article and post your thoughts and ideas on the blog. It is important for students to become aware of the nursing diagnosis and apply them to their clinical experience. Nursing diagnosis can be used to prioritize nursing care plans based on pain, infections, nutritional imbalance, and other health care deficits that are seen in their patients. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
