What standardized classification system describes activities that nurses perform?

Nursing Outcome Classification NOC
Nursing Interventions Classifications NIC
Nursing Care Plan
Omaha Home Health Care System OHHCS

The correct answer is: Nursing Interventions Classifications NIC

The correct answer is Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC). NIC is a standardized classification system that describes the activities that nurses perform in all settings and services, including direct and indirect care. It provides a comprehensive, research-based standardization of interventions that nurses perform as part of patient care. Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) consists of standardized outcomes and indicators that can be used to evaluate the effects of nursing interventions. It focuses on the evaluation of the patient's response to nursing care rather than the actual activities performed by nurses. A Nursing Care Plan is a written document that outlines the nursing care to be provided to a patient. It includes the patient's diagnosis, nursing assessments, interventions, and expected outcomes but does not specifically describe the activities nurses perform in a standardized manner. The Omaha Home Health Care System (OHHCS) is a problem classification scheme used in home health care that involves assessment, intervention, and evaluation for patient care but is not specifically focused on nursing interventions.
