Thanks for sharing Jared and appreciate your insights on this hot topic! I agree completely that NANDA taxonomy is much better suited for stable patients with expected outcomes in your context of ambulatory care. Glad you found these insights helpful!

Just coming across this now. I appreciate your perspective on this. It’s clear to me that your acute care background has greatly influenced your philosophy. Being a nurse and educator in an ambulatory setting, I have a (slightly) different perspective on NANDA. I think it’s important to remember that nursing is a very broad field with many applications across settings and patient relationships. NANDA themselves discuss the importance of nursing leaders identifying the “short-list” of diagnoses that are relevant to their particular setting/specialty.
I find that NANDA has more utility in the longer-term patient relationships that we cultivate in an ambulatory/community setting than in an acute care setting. I think what you may be on to here is that there may be more than one type of clinical reasoning occurring in practice. NANDA only addresses one type. To your point though, I think that pre-licensure education must address both long term thinking and rapid, responsive clinical reasoning skills. Great work, keep it up!
