It has been almost 15 years since the start of the nursing diagnosis movement. Consensus development, research, and infiltration have been slow but progressive. However, integration of nursing diagnoses into the critical care literature has not progressed as much as have other components of the movement. All three nursing diagnosis activities are interdependent, and without infiltration the whole process is slowed. We believe that the process of infiltration through the literature could be greatly accelerated if the recommendations presented here were implemented. This increasing infiltration of nursing diagnoses through the literature would then have a positive effect on all other concurrent activities involved in the nursing diagnosis movement.
