The defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis "Sexual Dysfunction" were gathered from NAAM assessment records. From this population 96 records with the defining characteristics of Sexual Dysfunction were selected. The 9 defining characteristics proposed by The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association were used as a framework for the data collection tool. The 3 most frequently defining characteristics were absence of sexual desire (71.9%), vaginal discharge (64.5%), and pain (44.8%). The authors concluded that 6 defining characteristics have not appeared; absence of sexual desire and vaginal discharge can be considered as minor characteristics. The authors recommend the implementation of other studies to clarify the subjective defining characteristics.

Implementation of the nursing process at the Post-anesthesia Recovery Room--a preliminary study. This paper presents the preliminary results about a research on Nursing Diagnoses at the Post-Anesthesia Recovery Room based on the Taxonomy I. In a population of 19 patients, the nursing diagnoses with high frequency plus then 50% were injury (potential), hypothermia, and alteration in comfort.
The nursing activities--diagnosis, intervention and client outcome-have several synonyms, different meanings and antagonistic frame-works. Although the study results can be considered as potential barriers to the Classification for Nursing Practice project in Brazil, or anywhere else, they also indicate a high number of references related to this theme, leading us to conclude that there is motivation for defining and classifying nursing phenomena.
