Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains for...

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Nursing Diagnosis

Nursing Diagnosis

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters assessment...

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Radiology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Viral pericarditis can lead to serious complications, including constrictive pericarditis.
Constrictive pericarditis impairs diastolic filling of the heart chambers.
Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of constrictive pericarditis following a viral infection.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was employed to evaluate the pericardium and cardiac function.
CMR provided detailed anatomical and functional information.

Findings:

The diagnostic process confirmed pericardial constriction as a sequela of viral pericarditis.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated characteristic features of constrictive pericarditis.
The study highlights the utility of CMR in diagnosing pericardial diseases.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering constrictive pericarditis in patients with a history of viral pericarditis.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging offers significant advantages in the non-invasive assessment of pericardial disease.
Enhanced diagnostic capabilities through advanced imaging can improve patient outcomes.
