title: Child development in the NANDA-I and International Classification for Nursing Practices Nursing Classifications*.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Identify and analyze the NANDA-I diagnoses and the focus terms of the International Classification for Nursing Practices (ICNP) related to child development.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature, reflections about clinical experience, and a model case. DATA SYNTHESE: The current diagnoses proposed by NANDA-I and the ICNP focus terms do not encompass the extent of the child development phenomenon.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is necessary studying the child development concept to improve the definition of the ICNP focus terms and the accuracy of NANDA-I diagnoses.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Discussing the nursing classifications can improve their understanding and use.
