Download or read book Nursing Diagnoses 2009 2011 Custom written by NANDA International and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nursing diagnosis is defined as a clinical judgement about individual, family or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes which provide the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable. Accurate and valid nursing diagnoses guide the selection of interventions that are likely to produce the desired treatment effects and determine nurse-sensitive outcomes. Nursing diagnoses are seen as key to the future of evidence-based, professionally-led nursing care – and to more effectively meeting the need of patients and ensuring patient safety. In an era of increasing electronic patient health records standardized nursing terminologies such as NANDA, NIC and NOC provide a means of collecting nursing data that are systematically analyzed within and across healthcare organizations and provide essential data for cost/benefit analysis and clinical audit. 'Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification' is the definitive guide to nursing diagnoses worldwide. Each nursing diagnoses undergoes a rigorous assessment process by NANDA-I with stringent criteria to indicate the strength of the underlying level of evidence. Each diagnosis comprises a label or name for the diagnosis and a definition. Actual diagnoses include defining characteristics and related factors. Risk diagnoses include risk factors. Many diagnoses are further qualified by terms such as effective, ineffective, impaired, imbalanced, readiness for, disturbed, decreased etc. The 2009-2011 edition is arranged by concept according to Taxonomy II domains (i.e. Health promotion, Nutrition, Elimination and Exchange, Activity/Rest, Perception/Cognition, Self-Perception, Role Relationships, Sexuality, Coping/ Stress Tolerance, Life Principles, Safety/Protection, Comfort, Growth/Development). The book contains new chapters on 'Critical judgement and assessment' and 'How to identify appropriate diagnoses' and core references for all nursing diagnoses. A companion website hosts NANDA-I position statements, new PowerPoint slides, and FAQs for students. 2009-2011 edition arranged by concepts New chapters on 'Critical judgement and assessment' and 'How to identify appropriate diagnoses' Core references for new diagnoses and level of evidence for each diagnosis Companion website available

Book excerpt: Devenue la référence internationale, la classification des diagnostics infirmiers de Nanda International n'a cessé d'évoluer et de s'enrichir, grâce au travail de nombreux groupes d'infirmier(e)s, d'évaluateurs et des comités de taxinomie. Cette nouvelle édition 2009-2011 offre 21 nouveaux diagnostics et 9 révisions, et introduit de nouvelles rubriques méthodologiques sur la collecte des données et le jugement clinique ainsi que le processus de développement et d'approbation d'un nouveau diagnostic. Elle amorce surtout un changement profond dans l'approche et l'organisation de l'ouvrage : les 201 diagnostics sont désormais distribués par domaines et par classes, tels qu'ils sont définis dans la Taxinomie II. En couverture intérieure et en introduction, un mode d'emploi donne les clés de cette nouvelle présentation. En complément en fin d'ouvrage, un index complet des titres de diagnostics et des concepts diagnostiques permet toujours la recherche alphabétique. Relevant du rôle propre de l'infirmier(e) et contribuant à l'élaboration d'une démarche en soins infirmiers, le diagnostic infirmier permet de fonder un langage commun indispensable à la pratique infirmière. En effet, articulée avec les classifications d'interventions de soins infirmiers et de résultats infirmiers, la classification de Nanda International facilite le choix, en situation de soin, des interventions et des actions adéquats qui devront aboutir à une évaluation des résultats de soins. Chaque diagnostic comprend : - un titre : le problème du patient est énoncé de façon synthétique à l'aide d'un mot ou d'un groupe de mots ; - une définition : elle donne une description claire du diagnostic et le distingue des autres ; - des caractéristiques : ce sont des manifestations cliniques qui précisent des données objectives ou subjectives ; - des facteurs favorisants ou des facteurs de risque : ils correspondent aux causes qui contribuent au développement du problème ou en augmentent le risque d'apparition.
