Most diagnoses were in the domains safety/protection (43.0%) and activity/rest (26.5%). Conclusions: authors identified the main nursing diagnostic titles used in the care of critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and the presence thereof in the diagnoses of NANDA International’s Taxonomy II.
