Frequently asked questions
How do I pick nursing diagnoses for a medical condition?
Base them on your patient assessment, not on the disease. The condition tells you which responses are likely; the data you actually find decide which diagnoses apply.
Does the medical diagnosis go in the "related to" part?
No. The disease is an associated condition. The "related to" part should name something nursing can change.
