Abstract

This chapter makes frequent reference to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). The NOC and NIC are considered to be a standardised language which is used by the American Nurses Association (ANA). It was originally devised in 1992, refined and used clinically from 1997 and is now revised every four years (University of Iowa College of Nursing, online 2008). Due to its use in many different texts it is valuable to have an understanding of the classifications. Although the classification system is American, it is adaptable to the Australian context. Further reading is suggested on page 240. The NOC refers to 'outcomes' which are the equivalent of the Australian term 'goals' . The University of Iowa College of Nursing (online 2008) provides justification for the use of a standardised language which has definite benefits for care planning (see Box 13.1).
