Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nursing diagnoses should be created only for problems that the nurse is licensed to treat, as these are within the nurse's scope of practice. The nurse should not focus on other health professionals' interventions or the client's primary illness or whether standardized care is available. Nursing diagnoses are specific to the nursing discipline and should be created based on the data collected during the assessment process.
