4 types of NANDA diagnoses (PRHS) - ANSW Problem focused, risk, health
promotion, syndrome.
Components of problem focused diagnoses - ANSW Nursing diagnosis, relating
factors, as evidenced by
Example of problems:
Decreased cardiac output it, chronic functional constipation, impaired gas exchange.
Problem focus nursing diagnoses are typically based on - ANSW Signs and symptoms
present in the patient. Most common nursing Diagnoses.
risk nursing diagnosis - ANSW Applies when risk factors require intervention from the
nurse and healthcare team prior to a real problem developing.
Requires clinical reasoning and nursing judgment

impaired oral mucous membrane integrity.
Health promotion Diagnosis - ANSW To improve the overall well-being of an

Examples: readiness for enhanced family processes, readiness for enhanced hope,
sedentary lifestyle
syndrome diagnosis refers to - ANSW A cluster of nursing diagnoses that occur and a
pattern or can we all be addressed through the same or similar nursing interventions
Examples: decreased cardiac output, decreased cardiac tissue perfusion, ineffective
cerebral tissue perfusion, ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion.

Define Assessing - ANSW The systematic and continuous collection, validation,
analysis, and communication of pt data
Types of Nursing Assessment - ANSW 1. Initial comprehensive
2. Focused
3. Emergency
4. Time-lapsed
Initial comprehensive Assessment - ANSW Preformed shortly after admittance to the
hospital by nurse to collect data on all aspects of pt health
Focused Assessment - ANSW Performed to gather data about a specific problem
already identified, or to look at new problems
Emergency Assessment - ANSW Performed when a crisis is present
Time-lapsed Assessment - ANSW performed to compare to pt current status to
baseline data obtained earlier
Medical Assessment - ANSW Target data pointing to that pathological conditions
(more the cure)
Nursing Assessment - ANSW Focus on the patient's response to health problems (we
help pt along the way)
Objective data - ANSW observable and measurable data that can be seen, heard or
felt by someone other than the person experiencing them. Ex: high temp, vomiting
Establishing Assessment priorities - ANSW health orientation
developmental stage
need for nursing
Sources of data - ANSW pt, family, pt record, other healthcare professionals
Four phases of a Nursing Interview - ANSW 1. preparatory phase
2. introduction
3. working phase
4. Termination
