- Strategies for nursing interventions include various approaches to meet expected patient outcomes.
Definitions of Nursing Interventions
- Clinical judgment-based actions executed by nurses to attain specific patient outcomes.
- Treatments performed by nurses to improve client outcomes based on professional knowledge.
Nursing Interventions Taxonomy (NIC)
- The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) serves as a comprehensive classification system for nursing interventions.
- NIC includes seven distinct domains of nursing interventions.
Domains of NIC
- Physiological (basic): Covers activities like exercise, nutrition, and comfort.
- Physiological (Complex): Involves complex care issues such as respiratory and neurologic interventions.
- Behavioral: Encompasses communication, coping strategies, and patient education.
- Safety: Focuses on risk and crisis management.
- Family: Addresses childbearing, childrearing, and lifespan considerations.
- Health System: Pertains to health system management and information dissemination.
- Community: Involves interventions related to community health.
Execution of Nursing Interventions
- Interventions may be executed directly with patients or indirectly on their behalf.
- Each intervention comprises specific nursing activities tailored to the individual patient's needs.
Types of Care in Nursing Interventions
- Nursing interventions include both direct care (interacting with patients) and indirect care (activities performed away from the patient).
- Essential components of nursing interventions are patient education, care coordination, and referrals.
Health Promotion and Management
- Nursing interventions should also focus on health promotion alongside managing identified problems.
- Continuous assessment and monitoring form part of the nursing process, reflecting in evaluation activities of nursing interventions.
Nursing Diagnosis Impact
- The goal of nursing diagnoses is to alter related factors, also known as etiology.
