NurScope™ NANDA-I Nursing Diagnosis – Links Nursing Assessment to NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses app for iPhone and iPad

NurScope™ helps nurses and students accurately link nursing assessment to NANDA International nursing diagnoses. Includes all 235 nursing diagnoses and related resources. Faster point of care reference than the NANDA-I book, targeted to an actual patient.

HOW IT WORKS
Identify priority nursing diagnoses by following three steps:
1. Select the appropriate diagnostic indicators, based on nursing assessment and other patient data;
2. When presented with a list of potential diagnoses, review the details of each to refine, validate and prioritize the most accurate diagnosis(es).
3. Document your clinical reasoning process by emailing a summary of your work to your professor.

BENEFITS FOR YOU
NurScope™ was developed by nurses, resulting in features and content optimized for use by clinicians, educators and students. The e-tool is unique among nursing resources, as it is designed to base nursing diagnosis on nursing assessment, nursing knowledge and clinical judgment - rather than linking nursing diagnosis to medical diagnosis/conditions.

**Clinicians can use NurScope™ to ensure individualized care, by identifying relevant nursing diagnoses, which are foundational to patient-specific plans of care. Standardized assessment tools, such as the Morse Fall Scale, are integrated into the e-tool and easily accessed. HIPAA compliance is assured as no patient identifiers are used in the e-tool.

**Nurse educators will find NurScope™ to be a versatile teaching resource, as its powerful decision support design demonstrates and develops clinical reasoning skills. The e-tool’s emailed summary provides data to evaluate student proficiency in nursing assessment, diagnosis and clinical reasoning. NurScope™ is easily deployed in a variety of educational settings, including classroom demonstration, small group case study, simulation lab scenarios and clinical assignments.

**Students can use NurScope™ to efficiently and accurately complete case study, simulation and clinical assignments. The e-tool demonstrates how to link assessment data to relevant nursing diagnoses, and identify any additional data needed. Integrated standardized scales and tips for diagnosis differentiation help confirm diagnostic decisions. The emailed work summary saves time in assignment documentation.

OPTIONS FOR USING NURSCOPE
NurScope™ provides three content access points – or pathways – which have powerful clinical reasoning and time-saving features. All pathways lead to detailed nursing diagnoses, however choosing a specific pathway helps customize use of the e-tool to meet priority information needs. For example:

**The Domain pathway will be a good starting point for those accustomed to using the NANDA-I taxonomic structure of domains and classes.

**The Diagnostic Focus pathway works well when you have determined a patient problem and need to identify potential nursing diagnoses.

**The Nursing Diagnosis pathway is suggested for those who want to validate an initial diagnosis, or might be looking for additional information about a familiar diagnosis.

BUILT IN-E-TOOL RESOURCES
The integrated Multimedia Learning Library provides related resources, e.g, the Morse Fall Scale, with results linked directly to associated defining characteristics. Videos provide information on nursing diagnosis, the process of assessment to diagnosis, and Frequently Asked Questions.

BUILT-IN DIAGNOSIS VALIDATION
Differential and possible co-occurring nursing diagnoses are provided, enabling review and cross-check to validate final diagnosis.

PATIENT SAFETY RISK ALERTS
Potential risk nursing diagnoses are automatically presented and highlighted so that high-risk patient safety issues are identified and prioritized.
