What does NMDS stand for in the context of defining the cost and quality of nursing care?

Nursing Material Data System
Nursing Minimum Data Set
Nursing Management Data System
Nursing Metadata System

The correct answer is: Nursing Minimum Data Set

The correct answer is B. Nursing Minimum Data Set. The Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) is a standardized set of essential data elements that are collected about every patient in healthcare facilities to provide a common language to describe nursing care. It helps in defining and measuring the quality and cost of nursing care by standardizing data elements collected across different settings. Option A, Nursing Material Data System, is not the correct term for the standardized set of essential data elements. Option C, Nursing Management Data System, may be related to the management of nursing data but is not the standardized set for defining the cost and quality of nursing care. Option D, Nursing Metadata System, deals with the structured data used to describe other data and is not specific to defining the cost and quality of nursing care like the Nursing Minimum Data Set.
