The use of nursing diagnoses for health promotion in community practice.
The use of nursing diagnosis contributes to health promotion by helping nurses define and organize knowledge for community practice. When community nurses assess clients' responses to life and health events, clinical judgment frequently requires formulation of both positive and problem-oriented nursing diagnoses. Clinical examples and research findings are used to illustrate the use of nursing diagnoses for health promotion in community practice.
