Please note that NANDA-I doesn't advise on using NANDA Nursing Diagnosis labels without taking the nursing

diagnosis in holistic approach. NANDA-I explained this in their website as follow:

There is no real use for simply providing a list of terms – to do so defeats the purpose of a standardized language.

Unless the definition, defining characteristics, related and / or risk factors are known, the label itself is

meaningless. Therefore, we do not believe it is in the interest of patient safety to produce simple lists of terms that

could be misunderstood or used inappropriately in a clinical context.

Definition of a Nursing Diagnosis

response to health conditions/life processes, or vulnerability for that response, by an individual, family, group, or
