medical diagnosis illness focused whereas nursing diagnosis care focussed or patient focussed
A nursing diagnosis is a current or potential problem that the patient has that the nurse can diagnose and treat for the most part independently. For example pain is a nursing diagnosis that may be related to an abdominal incision. The nurse can then come up with a care plan to reduce the patient's pain by repositioning, or having the patient listen to music to relax.
That would depend on the particular patient involved.
"MRSA not isolated" typically indicates that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was not detected in the patient's sample. However, this does not definitively mean the patient does not have MRSA; it may suggest that the bacteria were not present in the tested sample or that the infection is caused by a different organism. Further clinical evaluation and testing may be needed for a conclusive diagnosis.
