Which classification system uses specific guidelines to develop nursing diagnosis outcomes and intervention statements?

  1. CCC

  2. CPT

  3. ICNP

  4. NOC

The correct answer is: CCC

The correct answer is A. CCC, which stands for Clinical Care Classification. CCC is a standardized nursing terminology system that provides specific guidelines for developing nursing diagnosis outcomes and intervention statements. This system helps nurses communicate effectively within the healthcare team and ensures clear and concise documentation of patient care. Now, let's briefly discuss why the other options are incorrect: - B. CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) is a system used for coding medical procedures and services, not for nursing diagnosis outcomes and interventions. - C. ICNP (International Classification for Nursing Practice) is a standardized nursing terminology system, but it does not specifically focus on developing nursing diagnosis outcomes and intervention statements like CCC does. - D. NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) is a standardized nursing terminology system that focuses on defining patient outcomes, but it does not include guidelines for developing nursing diagnosis interventions like CCC does.
