In nursing terminology, what does NANDA describe?

  1. The patient's reaction to the disease and treatment

  2. The billing codes for medical procedures

  3. The steps of the nursing process

  4. The outcomes sensitive to nursing interventions

The correct answer is: The patient's reaction to the disease and treatment

NANDA stands for the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association. It is a standardized nursing terminology that describes the patient's reaction to the disease and treatment. NANDA diagnoses are used by nurses to identify patient problems and strengths that nurses can address through nursing interventions. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe what NANDA specifically refers to in nursing terminology.
