Which set lists all four types of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses?

• A. Actual diagnosis, Risk diagnosis, Health promotion diagnosis, Wellness diagnosis
• B. Actual diagnosis, Risk diagnosis, Wellness diagnosis, Medical diagnosis
• C. Actual diagnosis, Medical diagnosis, Health promotion diagnosis, Wellness diagnosis
• D. Risk diagnosis, Health promotion diagnosis, Wellness diagnosis, Acute diagnosis

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding the four types of nursing diagnoses defined by NANDA-I. Nursing diagnoses are categorized as actual (problem-focused), risk (potential problems), wellness (readiness for enhanced well-being), and health-promotion (diagnoses that promote or maintain health). The only set that lists all four of these categories is the one that includes actual, risk, wellness, and health-promotion diagnoses. Choices that include a medical diagnosis or refer to a type like “acute” don’t align with NANDA-I’s nursing-diagnosis framework.
