Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first step in proposing a new nursing diagnosis is to submit the diagnosis to the NANDA's Diagnostic Review Committee. This committee is responsible for reviewing and approving new nursing diagnoses for inclusion in the NANDA-I taxonomy. Once the nursing diagnosis has been approved, it can then be used in constructing client care plans and implemented by nursing facilities. Presenting the proposed nursing diagnosis at local AMA meetings would not be a necessary step in proposing a nursing diagnosis.
