title: [The teaching of patient evaluation: the delineation of the content of nursing diagnosis].
abstract: The nursing care is based on the nursing assessment. In the nurse's professional activity there aren't clarity and consensus about the clinical entities, problems or phenomenons that nurses intended to care. Difficulties in deciding what should be collected are determined by this indefinition, that it is also present in nursing graduate courses. In this article the authors discuss that the Nursing Diagnosis can be the framework for the nursing assessment.
