When discussing Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC), the nurse shows an understanding of the role this tool plays in nursing care when stating:
1. "I can look up interventions according to the nursing diagnosis that I've selected."
2. "The interventions connected to a diagnosis are appropriate for any client with that diagnosis."
3. "If there is a NANDA diagnosis, I should be able to find some appropriate interventions."
4. "Care plans are best written when the interventions are broad and flexible."
5. "I find NIC interventions a really good place to start when I'm working on client interventions."
Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale 1: The nurse can look up a client's nursing diagnosis to see which nursing interventions are suggested.
Rationale 2: Each nursing diagnosis contains suggestions for several interventions, so nurses need to select the appropriate interventions based on their judgment and knowledge of the client.
Rationale 3: All NIC interventions have been linked to NANDA nursing diagnostic labels.
Rationale 4: When writing individualized nursing interventions on a care plan, the nurse should record customized activities rather than broad intervention labels.
Rationale 5: Not all activities suggested for the intervention would be needed for every client, so the nurse chooses the activities appropriate for the client and individualizes them to fit the supplies, equipment, and other resources available in the agency.
