Practice Question
The nurse understands the importance of using a shared terminology when identifying patient problems. Which organization does the nurse recognize as being responsible for developing the taxonomy of a nursing diagnosis?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
NANDA International
Rationale:
🧩 NANDA International (NANDA-I) is the body that develops, defines, and classifies nursing diagnoses, providing a standardized taxonomy used worldwide in nursing care plans and EHRs.
🧩 Its work ensures common language for identifying patient responses to health conditions, improving communication, continuity of care, education, and research.
🧩 The American Nurses Association (ANA) sets professional standards and scope of practice, but it does not author the diagnosis taxonomy.
🧩 The National League for Nursing (NLN) focuses on nursing education and faculty development, not diagnostic classifications.
🧩 The Joint Commission (TJC/JCAHO) is an accrediting organization for healthcare facilities and does not develop the nursing diagnosis taxonomy.
