As cough is a symptom that is found out in nursing assessment and history and it a common symptom in many diseases so it is not a diagnosis .
nursing diagnosis refers to human response to actual or potential health problem and life processes whereas medical diagnosis is related to actual disease or medical condition based on physical sign and symptoms, history and lab tests.
