NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification, 2018-2020, 11th Edition (PDF)

By T. Heather Herdman, Shigemi Kamitsuru

This seminal text has been fully updated and revised by editors T. Heather Herdman, PhD, RN, FNI, and Shigemi Kamitsuru, PhD, RN, FNI, and is the definitive guide to nursing diagnoses as reviewed and approved by NANDA International (NANDA-I).

The authors have written all introductory chapters at an undergraduate nursing level and provided the critical information needed for nurses to understand assessment, its link to diagnosis and clinical reasoning, and the purpose and use of taxonomic structure for the nurse at the bedside.

In this new edition, there are 18 new nursing diagnoses and 72 revised diagnoses, along with updates to 11 nursing diagnosis labels, ensuring they reflect a human response and are consistent with current literature. The vast majority of the nursing diagnosis definitions, including especially Risk Diagnoses, have been modified, and diagnostic indicator terms (defining characteristics, related factors, risk factors, associated conditions, and at-risk populations) have been standardized to aid clarity for readers and clinicians. For those using electronic versions of the terminology, there is coding of all diagnostic indicator terms. Web-based resources include chapter and reference lists for new diagnoses.

Rigorously updated and revised, NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification 2018-2020, Eleventh Edition is a must-have resource for all nursing students, professional nurses, nurse educators, nurse informaticists, and nurse administrators.
