Nursing Interventions Classification

Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is an evidence-based standardized language used to describe nursing interventions in professional clinical practice. It assists healthcare professionals in identifying the interventions they provide to their patients, and is used in research, education, and administrative applications. NIC is important in advancing the practice of nursing as it provides a common language to discuss and evaluate patient care across cultures and healthcare settings. Its use can improve patient outcomes, as well as enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of nurse care. Additionally, NIC informs nursing practice, research, and education, providing a basis for better communication, decision-making, and quality of care.
