#FOCUSED ASSESSMENT FOR FREE#
a limited number of nursing diagnoses with the nanda information are able to be accessed for free online if you don't have a nursing care plan or nursing diagnosis book.
this taxonomy is re-printed with nanda's permission in many current nursing care plan books that also include nursing outcomes and interventions as an added feature. the definitive work on nursing diagnoses is the nanda taxonomy and can be obtained from nanda in this publication: nanda-i nursing diagnoses: definitions & classification 2007-2008 which costs $24.95 and you purchase directly from nanda. and, you want to make sure you are making a correct diagnostic assessment, don't you? it's not a good idea to just pick a diagnostic label (or title) and use it without checking any reference information about it. each nursing diagnosis has a definition as well as a list of symptoms.

the nursing process is a problem solving process. nowadays they are also taking pictures of these wounds and placing them in the charts.Īs for your care plan.you always follow the nursing process in writing a care plan.
you should also assess it's specific location, depth, length and width of its margins (in other words, get measurements), note the amount of any drainage, the amount of any drainage on the packing that is being removed, how many times a day the dressing is needing to be changed, and any information on cultures of the wound drainage. Hm2viking gave you good advice about the wound assessment. Hi, breezy1979, and welcome to allnurses! :welcome:
