The formulation of a nursing diagnosis typically follows a standardized process, often guided by the NANDA-I (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International) taxonomy. The process involves: 1. Assessment: Collecting comprehensive data about the patient's health status. 2. Analysis: Analyzing the data to identify patterns and symptoms. 3. Diagnosis Statement: Writing a two-part or three-part nursing diagnosis statement that includes the diagnosis, related factors, and defining characteristics.
