The Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) comprises three main elements: Nursing Care, Patient Demographics, and Service Elements. These elements are essential in capturing standardized data related to nursing care provided to patients. Option A is incorrect as it includes Patient Health and Financial Elements instead of Patient Demographics and Service Elements.
