title: Determination of nursing diagnoses used by students in the first clinical practice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study was carried out descriptively with the purpose of determining nursing diagnoses that nursing freshmen students used in their first clinical practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sample of the study consisted of 61 nursing students. Data of the study were collected with the examination of 208 care plans that the students had prepared. Nursing diagnoses in the examined care plans were classified according to nursing diagnoses grouped under the domains of Taxonomy II NANDA-I.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Students determined 31 different diagnoses in nine domains of NANDA-I. Total nursing diagnoses used in care plans were 635.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It was determined that the nursing diagnoses that the students mostly used, according to classification of NANDA-I, were in the domains of safety/protection, activity/rest, comfort, elimination and exchange, and nutrition.
