Which classification system is used to describe patient outcomes sensitive to nursing interventions?
CCS
CCC
ICD
NOC
The correct answer is: CCS
The correct answer is A. CCS (Clinical Care Classification) is the classification system used to describe patient outcomes that are sensitive to nursing interventions. CCS is specifically designed to represent the care provided by nurses and how it affects patient outcomes. ICD (International Classification of Diseases) is a classification system used for coding diagnoses and inpatient procedures, focusing on the medical conditions of patients. NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) is a classification system used to define and standardize outcomes sensitive to nursing practice, but it is not specifically focused on outcomes sensitive to nursing interventions as CCS is. CCC (Clinical Classifications Software) is a system used for grouping patient diagnoses and procedures for statistical purposes, which is also not directly related to describing outcomes sensitive to nursing interventions as CCS is.
