Health-promotion nursing diagnoses are used in situations in which patients express interest in improving their health status through a positive change in behavior. Although most nursing diagnoses are used for individual patients, nursing diagnosis taxonomy can be applied to families, groups of individuals, and communities. Actual nursing diagnoses identify existing problems or concerns of a patient. Risk (potential) nursing diagnoses apply when there is an increased potential or vulnerability for a patient to develop a problem or complication.
