Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II01:25

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

4.2K
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

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...

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.9K
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...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

718
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Nursing Diagnosis

4.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sociology
  • Disability Studies
  • Critical Theory

Background:

  • Medical diagnosis of disability is often codified through writing, yet disabled individuals use writing to challenge dominant medical narratives.
  • This symposium explores how diverse writing forms can reclaim authority over diagnostic experiences and their cultural impacts.

Framework:

  • Utilizes queer and crip theory to interrogate diagnosis as a cultural construct.
  • Examines how marginalized embodiments and experiences can reveal social inequalities and inform cultural interventions.

Implementation:

  • Presents a variety of genres including scholarly essays, poetry, graphic memoirs, and personal narratives.
  • Features contributions from laypersons and academics who disrupt monologic medical discourse.

Implications:

  • Highlights how diagnostic normativity manifests in experiences like "disruptive deafness," unstable materialities, and pathologized grief.
  • Connects corporeal "correction" to environmental and political factors that impact health and embodiment.
