Which of the following is true of the NANDA label? (Select all that apply.)

1. Must contain three components
2. Describes the health problem for which nursing therapy is given
3. Helps define medical diagnoses for nursing
4. Promotes a taxonomy of nursing

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale: The purpose of NANDA is to define, refine, and promote a taxonomy of nursing diagnostic terminology of general use to professional nurses. This label describes the health problem or response by the client for which nursing therapy is given. It contains three components: the problem and its definition, the etiology, and the defining characteristics. The nursing diagnosis is not equated nor defined by medical diagnoses.
