Purpose The purpose of the study was to identify key nursing diagnoses with related factors and signs/symptoms using NANDA ‐ I for patients with heart failure (HF). Methods A retrospective descriptive design was used to address the research questions. Data were obtained from the records of patients discharged for 1 year with the medical diagnoses of HF from a Midwestern community hospital. A total of 272 inpatient records were analyzed to describe the frequency and percentage of NANDA ‐ I diagnosis with related factors and signs/symptoms. Results The top 10 NANDA ‐ I diagnoses associated with related factors and signs/symptoms were identified.Conclusion Further research related to standardized nursing terminologies such as NANDA ‐ I using large clinical databases from health information systems is needed to support evidence‐based nursing diagnosis decision making.
