Nursing Diagnosis VS Medical Diagnosis

Posted 3 months ago I am a paramedic bridging to RN. We are learning nursing diagnosis and care plans. I am having a hard time finding the nursing diagnosis list on this web page. Any help? This is COMPLETELY different thinking than EMS thinking and I am having a difficult time. |

| Posted 3 months ago There was a post before on this (I just searched and found it) -- this is the link to it... http://nursinglink.monster.com/topics/3298-nanda-approved-nursing-diaganosis/posts They're listed right in the post - no links or downloads :) NANDA lists go by years so the most recent one is 2009-2011... And most of our textbooks had the full list somewhere in them. It takes some time to catch onto the whole concept of the nursing diagnoses, but it will come. You look for "Clinical manifestations" or "signs and symptoms" first, then that leads you to the Nursing Diagnoses (e.g. Ineffective Airway Clearance, related to [medical diagnosis, etc. like "pneumonia"], as evidenced by [whatever your assessment findings are, like "auscultation of rhonchi in LLL"]) (or something like that, haha!...) Don't worry...it's completely different thinking than ANYbody's thinking! :) (btw care plans aren't usually done after nursing school...but ohhhh, the hours we spent on them...*sigh*) ~ Lori |

| Posted 2 months ago I found this one quite helpful, though it is a few years old. I have copies of it in all my books and carry one with me to clinical. http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/objects/3918/4012970/NursingTools... My Health Assessment book had a more current one, but the one I linked was more convenient. |

| Posted 2 months ago Nursing Diagnosis is to pattern you to think a certain way so you automatically think about the peumonia in a focused way responding with interventions you can do or effect in the nursing scope of practice. So ineffective airway mangement r/t pneumonia as evidenced by coughing, expectoration, cyanosis, etc. Leads you to all the interventions you can do like sit the person up at 45 plus degrees, aggressive pulmonary toilet, hydration, insure there is an order for humidified oxygen etc. After you do hundreds of care plans the thoughts come automatically and you sift throught the ones you need for the patient you have at the time. Then you get on your docs to order what you need and you get on your techs or LPN's or aides to give the care they need to unless it is primary care and then you make sure you do it. RNprogressive |

| Posted 23 days ago I used Sparks and Taylor's Nursing Diagnosis in my first year, then the instuctors changed to another. This book was extremely helpful in selecting your care plan based on symptoms,risks for,past med history. These care plans are priceless. |
