Nursing Outcomes Classification 2ed

The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) standardizes the terminology and criteria for measurable or desirable outcomes as a result of interventions performed by nurses. This volume provides comprehensive outcomes and specific indicators which can be used as intermediate outcomes or can be used to evaluate and rate the patient in relation to outcome achievement. It has a diverse research base. This second edition includes 57 new outcomes for individual patients and family care-givers, as well as seven family-level and six community-level outcomes. There are a total of 260 outcomes in this edition. The breadth of its content is not confined to the growth of label categories; the research has spread to cover community settings, a relevant and important expansion given the shift in health care delivery settings. This second edition also contains the taxonomy for NOC.
