Nursing diagnoses play a pivotal role in shaping patient care:
1. Individualized Care Plans: Nursing diagnoses ensure that care plans are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. 2. Goal Setting: They help in setting realistic and measurable goals for patient care. 3. Interventions: Guide the selection of nursing interventions that are most appropriate for the patient's condition. 4. Evaluation: Provide a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of nursing interventions and adjusting care plans as needed.
