Why doesn’t NANDA International provide a list of its diagnoses on its website?
There is no real use for simply providing a list of terms – to do so defeats the purpose of a standardized language. Unless the definition, defining characteristics, related and/or risk factors are known, the label itself is meaningless. Therefore, we do not believe it is in the interest of patient safety to produce simple lists of terms that could be misunderstood or used inappropriately in a clinical context.
