Altered thought processes and sensory/perceptual alterations: a critique.

Concerns about the clinical usefulness of altered thought processes and sensory/perceptual alterations--and the resulting avoidance of these two diagnoses--led to a study to determine how expert nurses differentiate between the diagnoses and how the diagnoses are used in practice. The authors developed a questionnaire and mailed it to 128 members of NANDA who had identified themselves as experts in the diagnoses; sixty-six (52%) responded. Conclusions were that the defining characteristics for altered thought processes were cognitively oriented and those for sensory/perceptual alterations were perceptually oriented. The overlap of defining characteristics, such as change in problem-solving ability, makes differential diagnosis a difficult task.
