Abstract

Objective: Discuss the label “impaired foot health” to be considered a problem-focused nursing diagnosis according to the taxonomy of NANDA-I. Methods: Discussion article based on literature reviews and observational studies based on the authors’ PhD ongoing research about foot health among nursing students and professionals. Findings: Attending to the definition of nursing diagnosis and the scope of nursing practice internationally, several human responses and contexts should be considered, opening new opportunities for NANDA-I completeness. Conclusions: A new nursing diagnosis has been disclosed, opening new dimensions to the NANDA-I taxonomy. Implications for nursing: This nursing diagnosis represents an opening door for the taxonomy, particularly for occupational health nursing in an international context.
