Preface
The 20122014 edition of NANDA Internationals classic text Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification builds on the success of the well-received new look and feel of the 20092011 edition. This latest edition includes 16 new and 11 revised diagnoses together with several new or refreshed opening chapters. These essays in best practice in the development, testing, and use of Nursing Diagnoses have been written by some of the most accomplished scholars in the field, and I commend them to you. The aim of including these outstanding contributions is to ensure that we all use Nursing Diagnoses safely and consistently in our practice worldwide.
NANDA International is a not-for-profit membership organization. This means that, with the exception of our business management and administration functions, all of our work is done by volunteers. Indeed, some of the worlds most talented nurse scientists and scholars are or have been NANDA International volunteers. So, contrary to popular belief, there is not an office block somewhere in the United States with rows of nurse researchers working on Nursing Diagnoses. Our volunteers are people like you and me who give their time and expertise to NANDA International because of their strongly held beliefs about the primacy of patient care and the contribution that nursing and nurses can make.
