Standardized nursing language names what nurses
do (NANDA International, 2007). Nursing diagnosis
necessitates investigation and the accumulation of
data about a client’s self-care agency and therapeutic
self-care demand and the relationship between them.
Collaboration by Stella and the CNS on her responses
to her health problems and life processes resulted in
the identification of several nursing diagnoses. This
process is based on knowledge of nursing diagnoses
and of the role the client can fill in the management of
self-care (Orem, 2001).
