Fully updated and revised by editors T. Heather Herdman, Shigemi Kamitsuru, and Camila Takáo Lopes, NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification, 2024-2026, 13th Edition, is the definitive guide to nursing diagnoses, as reviewed and approved by the NANDA International (NANDA-I) Diagnosis Development Committee (DDC). In this new edition of a seminal text, the editors have included a more in-depth discussion on diagnosis and its connection to assessment, employing Kamitsuru’s Tripartite Model of Nursing Practice to differentiate between interdependent interventions based on medical and organizational standards of care, and autonomous nursing interventions grounded in nursing standards of care. Functional Health Patterns serve as an assessment framework to assist nurses in collecting relevant data to enhance the accuracy of nursing diagnoses. The text describes ontology, classification, and taxonomy, and provides a detailed explanation of the axial structure of our diagnoses, which has undergone significant revision. An overview of all changes and revisions in the classification is included, along with updated research priorities and future focuses for the Diagnosis Development Committee and the NANDA-I Association.
