title: Capturing Key NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses From Actual Clinical Data for Patients With Heart Failure.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the study was to identify key nursing diagnoses with related factors and signs/symptoms using NANDA-I for patients with heart failure (HF).
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective descriptive design was used to address the research questions. Data were obtained from the records of patients discharged for 1 year with the medical diagnoses of HF from a Midwestern community hospital. A total of 272 inpatient records were analyzed to describe the frequency and percentage of NANDA-I diagnosis with related factors and signs/symptoms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The top 10 NANDA-I diagnoses associated with related factors and signs/symptoms were identified.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Further research related to standardized nursing terminologies such as NANDA-I using large clinical databases from health information systems is needed to support evidence-based nursing diagnosis decision making.
