abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Concept analysis of the nursing diagnosis risk for trauma.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To examine the nursing diagnosis risk for trauma and to specify the risk factors for falling.
  
  
  METHODS
  Research and informational articles on falling, and NANDA Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification, 1999-2000.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Replace the current nursing diagnosis risk for trauma with the more specific nursing diagnosis unintentional injury risk: falls. The other risks included in risk for trauma (e.g., burns) also will need to be developed.
