title: Brief: nursing diagnostic applications derived from National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) draft guidelines and recommendations for laboratory analysis in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus.
abstract: This brief indicates how methods used by the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) in the development of its guidelines and recommendation for the laboratory analysis in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus may be applied to advance nomenclature, clinical practice, and research development within nursing. Specifically, human response diagnoses require the identification of accurate tests to confirm or reject the diagnoses. Each test needs to be described in terms of its use, rationale, analytical, and emerging considerations. Accurate test development will move nursing nomenclature, clinical practice, and research forward.
