Abstract
Topic:
Concept analysis of the nursing diagnosis risk for trauma.
Purpose:
To examine the nursing diagnosis risk for trauma and to specify the risk factors for falling.
Sources:
Research and informational articles on falling, and NANDA Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification, 1999-2000.
Conclusions:
Replace the current nursing diagnosis risk for trauma with the more specific nursing diagnosis unintentional injury risk: falls. The other risks included in risk for trauma (e.g., burns) also will need to be developed.
