The nurse is reviewing the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) taxonomy system. To what can the nurse compare this taxonomy?
1. Nursing diagnosis statement
2. Planning portion of the care plan
3. Goal statement of the traditional care plan
4. Implementation phase of the care plan
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The nursing diagnosis statement must follow the NANDA format.
Rationale 2: Goal setting is part of the planning, but the NOC outcome is narrower in use than general planning.
Rationale 3: The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) describes client outcomes that respond to nursing interventions seen in traditional care plans.
Rationale 4: Implementation is compared to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomy.
