Abstract

This study aimed at verifying the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis "Fluid Volume Excess" proposed by NANDA. Data collection was carried out within a specialized Cardiology health care setting where the 29 patients were selected by two expert nurses. The conclusion showed consonance of opinions between the two professionals in regard to the identification of nine patients with diagnosis and 20 without this type of diagnosis. The identified defining characteristics appeared in different percentages considering the studied patients.
