NANDA International (formerly the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) is a professional organization of nurses standardized nursing terminology that was officially founded in 1982 and develops, researches, disseminates and refines the nomenclature, criteria, and taxonomy of nursing diagnosis. In 2002, NANDA relaunched as NANDA International in response to the broadening scope of its membership. NANDA International published Nursing Diagnosis quarterly, which became the International journal of nursing terminologies and classification in 2002.Other related international associations are AENTDE (Spanish), AFEDI (French language) and JSND (Japan)

History
In 1973 the First National Conference on the Classification of Nursing Diagnoses was held in St. Louis, Missouri which created the National Conference Group, a task force to standardize nursing

terminology. In 1982 NANDA was formed including members from the United States and Canada. NANDA developed a nursing classification to organize nursing diagnoses into different categories. Although the taxonomy was revised to accommodate new diagnoses, in 1994 it became apparent that an overhaul was needed. In 2002 Taxonomy II, which was a revised version of Gordon's functional health patterns was released In 2002, NANDA became NANDA International in response to requests from its growing base of membership from outside North America. The acronym of NANDA was retained in the name because of the name recognition, but it is no longer merely "North American", and in fact boasts members from 32 countries as of 2010.

Taxonomy II
The current structure of NANDA's nursing diagnoses is referred to as Taxonomy II and has three levels: 13 domains, 47 classes, and 205 diagnoses. Statements of nursing diagnosis There are lot of difficulty in stating nursing because of lack of uniformity(NANDA terms) 1.Acute Severe pain of short duration ,e.g.acute urinary retention. 2.Altered-A change from usual optimum for a particular patient 3.Anticipatory-Occuring in advance eg:-anticipatory greiving 4.Chronic:- Lastingalongtime,reccurring,habitual, constant,eg:chronic pain

5.Compromised:-To lay open to danger,to endanger the interest off,eg:-ineffective family coping compromised 6.Decreased:-Smaller ,lessened,diminished lesser in size,amount or degree,eg:-decreased cardiac out put. 7.Deficit:-Amount or quantity that is less than what is necessary ,desirable or usable.eg:-divertional activity deficit. 8.Disturbance :-The state of being agitated,interrupted or interfered with eg:-Sleep pattern disturbance 9.Dysfunctional:-Abnormal ,impaired or incompleted functioning eg:-sexual functioninig 10 Excess:-Amount or quantity that is greater than what is necessary ,desirable or usable Eg:-Fluid volume deficit 11 .Impaired:-Madeworse, weakened ,damaged,reduced , deteriorated ,eg:-Social interaction impaired. 12.Ineffective:-Not producing the desired effect ,not capable of performing saticfactorily.eg:-ineffective breast feeding. 13.Less than:-A smaller amount of eg:-altered nutrition less than body requirement. 14.More than:-A larger amount of ,eg:-altered nutrition more temperature. 15.Potential:-The individual is at risk for a problem eg:-potential for injury or infection.
