NANDA International’s Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and classification text is the definitive guide to nursing diagnoses, as reviewed and approved by NANDA-I. The editors have written all introductory chapters at an undergraduate nursing level, providing the critical information needed for nurses to understand assessment, its link to diagnosis and clinical reasoning, and the purpose and use of taxonomic structure for the nurse at the bedside. Publications Include • New and revised nursing diagnoses. • Updates to nursing diagnosis labels, ensuring they are consistent with current literature and reflect a human response. • Modifications to the vast majority of the nursing diagnosis definitions, including risk diagnoses. • Standardization of diagnostic indicator terms (defining characteristics, related factors, risk factors, associated conditions, and at-risk populations) to further aid clarity for readers and clinicians. • Web-based resources include chapter and reference lists for new diagnoses. **If you are a member, please log in to the Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.

Diagnosis of AA is still challenging and some controversies on its management are still present among different settings and practice patterns worldwide. In July 2015, the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) organized in Jerusalem the first consensus conference on the diagnosis and treatment of AA in adult patients with the intention of producing evidence-based guidelines. An updated consensus conference took place in Nijemegen in June 2019 and the guidelines have now been updated in order to provide evidence-based statements and recommendations in keeping with varying clinical practice: use of clinical scores and imaging in diagnosing AA, indications and timing for surgery, use of non-operative management and antibiotics, laparoscopy and surgical techniques, intra-operative scoring, and peri-operative antibiotic therapy. Methods This executive manuscript summarizes the WSES guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AA. Literature search has been updated up to 2019 and statements and recommendations have been developed according to the GRADE...

In contrast, chronic pain is has a duration of more than 3 months without an anticipated or predictable end. The physiological signs of acute pain emerge from the body’s response to pain as a stressor. Acute pain provides a protective purpose to make the person informed and knowledgeable about the presence of an injury or illness. The unexpected onset of acute pain reminds the patient to seek support, assistance, and relief. Other factors such as the patient’s cultural background, emotions, and psychological or spiritual discomfort may contribute to acute pain.
