Rationale: Studies using the same language may be replicated more easily, an advantage of uniform nursing languages. A standardized nursing language allows accurate communication among nurses which aids research and subsequently adds to the body of nursing knowledge. Research utilizing standardized terms allows the researcher an increased confidence that results might be compared or replicated more easily, since the terms have the same definitions. The American Nurses Association has recognized several standardized languages and terminologies to support nursing practice. These include The Omaha System.
