How do you make a Nursing Diagnosis? | Look for common patterns in the assessment, cluster or group common patterns/verify defining characteristics, and identify possible nursing dx using critical thinking skills to determine accurate dx |
What is Etiology? | Cause - relationship to the nursing dx |
Can you use the medical diagnosis in your "related to" or etiology phrase? | No, but may be secondary |
What phrase may be used to connect the etiology with the defining characteristics? | as evidenced by (AEB) |

When identifying Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC) in the Planning step of the Nursing Process what does this assist in? | Recording change after intervention |
When identifying Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC) in the Planning step of the Nursing Process what does this increase? | NOCs increase the client/patient's motivation to achieve outcomes |
When identifying Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC) in the Planning step of the Nursing Process what format do you use? | SMART |
What does the acronym SMART represent? | S - specific M - measurable A - appropriate/attainable R - reasonable T - time-frame |
Interventions should be | -Clear: specific and timely -Evidence-based: rationale to support nursing interventions -Independent or or collaborative |
What is NIC | Nursing Intervention Classification |
"this" is comprehensive, standardized and covers all nursing specialities | The Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) |
