Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a standardized subset of the NANDA-I standardized nursing language. It is used with another subset Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) as a “set of terms to describe nursing judgments, treatments and nursing-sensitive patient outcomes" (NANDA International 2019).

’’’Introduction’’’

Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a one of 12 recognized standardized nursing languages for nurses that are a part of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). Standardized nursing terminologies sometimes referred to a SNT’s are sets of terms used to describe the clinical judgments of nurses based on clinical assessment. SNTs allow for examination of the effectiveness of nursing interventions that nurses to identify and document nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes unique to each patient to determine nursing diagnoses, selecting interventions, and determining patient outcomes used in the documentation of nursing care (NANDA International, 2019). Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) is used with another one of the UMLS recognized standardized nursing languages, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). When NOC and NIC are used together it is called NNN Classifications.
