NANDA International

NANDA International (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) is an organization that develops and maintains standardized terminology for nursing care. It creates a common language to identify patients' health issues and guide care planning. Essentially, NANDA provides a set of recognized diagnoses that nurses use to communicate about patient problems, determine appropriate interventions, and promote effective, evidence-based care. This helps ensure consistency and clarity across different healthcare settings worldwide, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes through precise and organized nursing assessment and treatment.
