A NANDA's list of nursing diagnoses may stifle critical thinking, but this has not been recognized as a concern.
B NANDA's list of nursing diagnoses is often considered to be less thorough than conceptual models of nursing, as it involves only one aspect of caring for patients.
C NANDA's list of nursing diagnoses is recognized by many nurses as a system that relies entirely upon an agreement about what constitutes average wellness and illness experiences. It can therefore create worrisome barriers to the individualized care of patients.
D NANDA's list of nursing diagnoses does reflect practical diagnoses.
