2. INTRODUCTION
The quest to satisfy the ever changing needs of consumers of
nursing care has led to the struggle for nursing to assume its
place as an independent profession.
Nurses aimed at helping people to care for themselves.
The nursing process has been adopted as the frame of
reference for nursing practice.
The integration of nursing diagnoses into the care plan and the
recent introduction of the use of standardized nursing
languages (SNL): NANDA I, NIC and NOC has brought a lot of
intellectual challenges to nurses, the young and the old alike.
Nurses are thus expected to update their knowledge and use
the SNL for the documentation of patients problems and
interventions given.
3. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this presentation, students will be able
to:
Define Nursing process , NANDA I, NIC and NOC
State the types and components of nursing
diagnoses
Make a good nursing diagnoses
Integrate NANDA I, NIC and NOC in the nursing
care plan.
4. DEFINITION OF NURSING PROCESS
According to NANDA (1990), nursing process is a
five-part systematic decision-making method
focusing on identifying and treating responses of
individuals or groups to actual or potential
alterations in health.
Nursing process can be said to be a systematic and
goal directed set of activities which are interrelated
and dynamic, used by the nurse to determine, plan
and implement individualized nursing care, which is
aimed at helping the patient to achieve integration
of his whole being or optimal level of
wellness(Nwonu 2002).
5. STEPS IN NURSING PROCESS
Assessment
Diagnoses
Planning
Implementation
Rationale
Evaluation.
According to some theorists, this six-steps description of
the nursing process is outdated and misrepresents
nursing as linear and atomic (Kozier, Barbara, et al.,
2004)

7. CHARACTERISTICS OF NURSING PROCESS
The nursing process is a cyclical and ongoing
process that can end at any stage if the problem is
solved.
The nursing process exists for every problem that
the individual/family/community has.
The nursing process not only focuses on ways to
improve physical needs, but also on social and
emotional needs as well.
The entire process is recorded or documented in
order to inform all members of the health care team.
8. NANDA INTERNATIONAL
The primary organization for defining, dissemination and
integration of standardized nursing diagnoses worldwide is
NANDA-International formerly known as the North American
Nursing Diagnosis Association.
The new 2015-2017 edition NANDA I has been rigorously
updated and revised throughout.
It contains 235 nursing diagnoses grouped into 13 domains and
47 classes. It also has 25 new nursing diagnoses and 13
revised diagnoses.
It contains Standardized diagnostic indicator terms
(characteristics, related factors, risk factors) to aid clarity.
A domain is a “sphere of knowledge (Merriam-Webster, 2009).
Examples of domains in the NANDA-I taxonomy include:
Nutrition, Elimination/Exchange, Activity/Rest, or Coping/Stress
Tolerance. Domains are divided into classes (groupings that
share common attributes)
9. TYPES OF NURSING DIAGNOSES
Actual / Problem focused
diagnoses
Risk diagnoses
Wellness diagnoses
Syndrome diagnosis
10. Components of nursing Diagnoses: PES or PE
Actual Diagnoses:
Problem statement/label/definition =P
Etiology /related factors/causes=E
Defining characteristics/ Signs &Symptoms =S
Risk diagnoses:
Problem statement/label/definition =P
Etiology /related factors/causes=E
Wellness diagnoses: Problem statement/label = P
Syndrome diagnoses comprises of a cluster of problems. It is a
statement. E.g. rape trauma syndrome.
Qualifiers – are words added to the diagnostic label or
problem statement to gain additional meaning. Examples are
impaired, deficient, decreased, ineffective.
11. ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS 3 PART
P E
Diagnostic Label Related factor
acute pain related to surgery
S
Defining characteristics
evidenced by verbalization, facial expression
12. RISK DIAGNOSIS 2PART
P E
Diagnostic label Etiologic risk factors
Risk for shock related to hypovolaemia
WELLNESS DIAGNOSIS 1 PART
One part statement beginning with “readiness for enhanced”
‘
P
Diagnostic label
Readiness for enhanced parenting
13. STEPS TO FORMULATING A GOOD NURSING
DIAGNOSIS
Conduct a nursing
assessment
Cluster and interpret
cues/patterns
Generate Hypotheses/
possible alternatives
Validation & Prioritization of
Nursing Diagnoses
14. RULES FOR WRITING A NURSING DIAGNOSES
State human response not a clients need.
Start the diagnostic statement with the human response.
Connect the human response to the etiology with the phrase
“related to” not “due to”.
Be sure the first two parts are not restatements of each other.
E.g “impaired skin integrity related to ulceration”.
Do not mention a medical diagnosis in either of the first two
parts.
Several factors may be involved in the etiology of the human
response, include them.
Select an etiology that can be changed by nursing intervention.
Avoid judging the client as bad in any part of the diagnostic
statement.
Avoid suggesting that some members of the health care team is
not doing his/her job.
Put the cues that led to the diagnosis in the third part (defining
characteristics.
15. BIOFOCAL MODEL….COLLABORATIVE PROBLEMS
Collaborative problems are certain physiologic complications
that nurses monitor to detect onset or changes in status
(Carpenito 2007).
They usually occur in association with a specific pathology
treatment and they require nursing and medical interventions
hence the title “collaborative”.
Certain physiologic problems are nursing diagnoses and so
nurses monitor to detect onset or change in status
All collaborative problems begin with the label POTENTIAL
COMPLICATION (PC). For example:
Situation 1: Man is admitted after a myocardial infarction with
a normal blood pressure.
Diagnosis: PC: Hypertension
Nurses focus: to monitor for a change in BP or onset of
hypertension
16. NURSING INTERVENTION CLASSIFICATION (NIC)
Nursing intervention classification is a standardized list of
nursing interventions to achieve a specific outcome
(Bulecheek, Butcher and Dochterman, 2008).
The current 5th edition of NIC has 7 domains, 30 classes
and 542 interventions and more than 12,000 activities
(Bulecheek, Butcher and Dochterman, 2008).
Each interventions includes a label name with a definition
and a unique numeric code example Airway Management
NIC3140, Ventilation assistance NIC3390.
NIC is used in implementation phase
17. NURSING OUTCOME CLASSIFICATION (NOC).
A nursing sensitive patient outcome is an individual,
family or community state, behavior or perception that is
measured along a continuum in response to nursing
intervention(s) (Moorhead, Johnson, Maas and Swanson,
2013)
The first edition of NOC was published in 1997 with 190
outcomes. The current 5th edition of NOC was published
in 2013 and has 490 outcomes, 32 classes and 7
domains.
NOC is used in planning and evaluation phase.
18. CODING STRUCTURE OF NOC
Domains are represented with numbers (1-9) #
Class are represented with alphabets (A-Z) or (AA-ZZ)
##
Outcome are represented with 4numbers ####
Indicators are represented with numbers (01-99) ##
Scale are representes with numbers (01-99) ##
Scale value are represented with numbers (1-5) #

20. Some scale used in measuring outcome include:
severely compromised (1), substantially compromised
(2), moderately compromised (3), midly compromised (4),
not compromised (5).
Numbers in bracket are the scale value.
21. NANDA – I, NIC AND NOC (NNN) LINKAGES.
NNN linkages shows the association between the three
standardized languages recognized by the American Nurses
Association: NANDA – I, NIC and NOC (Hye, 2010).
Step to using NNN
Form clusters of similar patients signs and symptoms.
Using NANDA –I, determine the best nursing diagnosis that
explains your patients problem.
Go to NOC and determine which NOC outcome is appropriate to
help set an objective and evaluation.
In NOC, select appropriate scale and scale rating value for
clients present problem
Choose NIC interventions that are most likely to achieve the
desired outcome.
Itemize list of activities for each NIC interventions
Make evaluation by comparing patients NOC scale value before
and after your intervention
22. ADVANTAGES OF STANDARDIZED
NURSING LANGUAGE : NNN
It provides a unified language for communication
amongst nurses as well as the public.
It allows for provision of uniform nursing
interventions of patients nursing diagnoses
Supports development of electronic clinical
information systems and health records.
It supports nursing informatics
It facilitates the evaluation and improvement of a
nursing care through evaluation.
23. USE OF NNN IN MANAGEMENT OF MR E.U.
Mr E.U a 24years old male patient who was admitted into MWD4 of
the NOHE on 17/9/15 with a diagnosis of tumor right proximal tibia
??osteosarcoma. He noticed swelling 10/12ago following mild
trauma while playing football after the ball hit his leg. Visited TBS
before presenting to NOHE 6/12ago. He was booked for incisional
biopsy but patient disappeared only to return 5months later.
On examination, there was pain of 10/12 ago, reduced appetite,
swelling around tibia, pale+, tenderness++, tumor warm to touch.
Patient is worried about change in body structure and change in life,
fear of unknown.
Patient had incisional biopsy done on 21/9/15 and received 2 unit of
blood after biopsy. Also had above knee amputation on 28/9/15.
about 1week post surgery, he started complaining of increase in
chest pain, abdominal pain/discomfort, loss of appetite, anxiety,
intolerance of mild activity, fatigue and tense look.
24. periodic examination of patient revealed hyperthermia
with temperature ranging from 38-39 c and body warm to
touch, tachypnea(40-52c/m), tachycardia(140-160), BP
130/80-140/80 mmHg., nasal flaring and use of
accessory muscle of respiration.
PCV of 10/10/15-29%, chest Xray of 9/10/15 showed
pulmonary and pleural metastasis of osteosarcoma and
right pleural effusion.
A diagnosis of pulmonary metastasis from right proximal
tibia osteosarcoma was made on 10/10/15.
Our patient was referred to UNTH, Oncology unit on
16/10/15 for palliative management. Biopsy result to be
forwarded when out.

32. RECOMMENDATION
The inclusion of Standardized Nursing Language as
a core course in the curricula of nursing education.
The Standardized Nursing Language should also
be produced and published for various fields of
nursing example orthopaedics, plastic, emergency,
oncology. This makes it less cumbersome, handy
and cheaper.
33. CONCLUSION
The nursing process and standardized nursing languages
has improved the quality of patients care and also the
image of the nursing profession.
As nurse professionals, we must identify ourselves with
this awesome breakthrough of the nursing profession and
begin to utilize standardized nursing language in the care
of our patients.
