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:

  • General Medicine
  • Preventive Care
  • Urology

Background:

  • A 62-year-old male patient presented for a routine check-up.
  • The patient had a history of hypertension, obesity, and was a current smoker (20 cigarettes/day).
  • He was undergoing treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) for blood pressure management.

Observation:

  • The patient's medical history includes significant cardiovascular risk factors.
  • The general practitioner noted the patient's ongoing hypertension and lifestyle habits.

Findings:

  • The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test was among the ordered blood investigations.
  • This indicates a potential focus on prostate health screening.
