List of nursing diagnoses[edit]

Unsourced list of "diagnoses" that are vague in the extreme. Seem to have originated from NANDA (but not sourced to any official document). Surplanted by Category:Nursing diagnoses. Delete. JFW | T@lk 13:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I personally identify with Dr. Wolff's characterization of the nursing diagnoses as "vague in the extreme" (the whole point of NANDA is to make nurses feel like they're doing something unique, something that is outside the strictly objective medical realm), this list is still an important article to have, considering NANDA's impact. The article needs to be cleaned up and sourced properly, but still should stay.--DLand ^TALK 13:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no useful context here, and to say the list is confusing to the average reader would be an understatement. There's no stated inclusion criteria either. I'm not familiar enough with the topic to say whether or not a list would be warranted at all, so cleanup might be an option, but given the current state of the article the only suggestion I can make is to delete.

Delete/merge I'm not sure if the content is encyclopedic, but it is certainly not appropriate for a separate article.DGG 00:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I firmly believe that what nurses do is unique and vital to good healthcare - but this is just a long, unsourced list of diagnoses, many of which are nebulous and ill-defined - as has been said above. Nmg20 14:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Nursing Diagnosis and clean up. This list is an important resource to nurses who create care plans for specific patient problems. The list is of only those specific diagnoses recognized by NANDA. While the idea of nursing diagnoses may be unpopular and underutilized in the clinical setting, they serve as an important tool in the academic setting.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Foiltape (talk • contribs)
Delete. This is an extremely confusing list of things that don't seem to mesh in any useful way with medicine as most of us know it. If it is to stay, some way of putting it in context is needed. --Markbenjamin 19:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I would advise against merging given the lack of context. Anyone who can provide context is free to recreate. Further, per the second comment above me, I truly hope that no nurses use Wikipedia to help create patient care plans. Someguy1221 21:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is, as noted above, not only a vague and unencyclopedic list of nursing 'diagnoses', but it is completely unexplanatory-ie the interested reader can not understand any more about these 'diagnoses' (which look to me more like UK NHS nursing 'risk assessments') after reading the page than from coming to it fresh. In addition it looks very much like it was copied off a nursing educational curriculum or somesuch. Totally useless.FelixFelix ^talk 15:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
