In the latest edition of NANDA nursing diagnosis list (2018-2020), NANDA International has made some changes
to its approved nursing diagnoses compared to the previous edition of NANDA nursing diagnoses 2015-2017 (10th
edition). In this latest edition (11th edition), NANDA-I introduced seventeen new nursing diagnoses, and removed
eight nursing diagnoses. likewise, seventy-two nursing diagnoses have been revised.
Please note that NANDA-I doesn't advise on using NANDA Nursing Diagnosis labels without taking the nursing
diagnosis in holistic approach. NANDA-I explained this in their website as follow:
There is no real use for simply providing a list of terms – to do so defeats the purpose of a standardized language.
Unless the definition, defining characteristics, related and / or risk factors are known, the label itself is
meaningless. Therefore, we do not believe it is in the interest of patient safety to produce simple lists of terms that
could be misunderstood or used inappropriately in a clinical context.
