Documenting nursing diagnosis is a valuable and essential step in the nursing process. Standardized terminologies are adopted to document nursing diagnoses. The diagnosis documentation includes three components: problem statement, etiology, and defining characteristic. The nursing diagnosis is either handwritten with a plan of care, or entered into the electronic health system. Additional nursing diagnoses are added with the primary diagnosis – such as "Self-care deficit." The nursing diagnosis should be signed with the date and time. In some settings, computer-based clinical decision allows for better data organization and enhances diagnosis selection. Still, nursing diagnosis has some limitations in identifying the proper diagnosis and urges nurses to avoid critics for seamless diagnosis. Premature or erroneous diagnosis resulting from incomplete or inaccurate data is one of the reasons for misdiagnosing. Ignorance in identifying the unique need of patients and error for omission may also mislead a diagnosis.
