Nursing diagnoses can be categorized into several types:
1. Actual Diagnosis: Identifies current health problems that are evident during the assessment. For example, "Impaired Mobility related to physical injury." 2. Risk Diagnosis: Identifies potential health problems that may develop if preventive measures are not taken. For example, "Risk for Falls related to unsteady gait." 3. Health Promotion Diagnosis: Focuses on the patient's readiness to enhance specific health behaviors. For example, "Readiness for Enhanced Nutrition." 4. Syndrome Diagnosis: Identifies a cluster of symptoms or conditions that occur together. For example, "Post-Trauma Syndrome."
