Overview of the NIC taxonomy
The 554 interventions in the Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC) Sixth Edition have been organized, as in the last three editions, into 7 domains and 30 classes. This three-level taxonomic structure is included on the following pages. At the top, most abstract level are 7 domains (numbered 1 to 7). Each domain includes classes (assigned alphabetical letters) or groups of related interventions (each with a unique code of four numbers) that are at the third level of the taxonomy. Only intervention label names are used in the taxonomy. Refer to the alphabetical listing in the book for the definition and defining activities for each intervention. The taxonomy was constructed using the methods of similarity analysis, hierarchical clustering, clinical judgment, and expert review. Refer to previous editions for more details on the construction, validation, and coding of the taxonomy.
The taxonomy clusters relate interventions for ease of use. The groupings represent all areas of nursing practice. Nurses in any specialty should remember that they should use the whole taxonomy with a particular patient, not just interventions from one class or domain. The taxonomy is theory neutral; the interventions can be used with any nursing theory and in any of the various nursing settings and health care delivery systems. The interventions can also be used with various diagnostic classifications, including NANDA International, International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and the Omaha System Problem List.
Each of the interventions has been assigned a unique number to facilitate computerization. If one wishes to identify the class and domain of the intervention, one would use six digits (e.g., 1A-0140 is Body Mechanics Promotion and is located in the Activity and Exercise Management class in the Physiological: Basic domain). Activity codes are not included in this book as we did not wish the classification to be dominated by numbers. If one wishes to assign codes, then each intervention’s activities can be numbered using two spaces after a decimal (e.g., 1A-0140.01). Given the sheer number of activities and the amount of resources that would be needed to keep track of them and the changes in activities over time, there has been no attempt to assign unique codes to activities. If activities are coded in a particular facility, they need to be used together with the related intervention code.
Some interventions have been included in two classes but are coded according to the primary class. We have attempted to keep cross-referencing to a minimum because the taxonomy could easily become long and unwieldy. Interventions are listed in another class only if they were judged to be sufficiently related to the interventions in that class. No intervention is listed in more than two classes. Interventions that are more concrete (i.e., those with colons in the title) have been coded at the fourth digit (e.g., Exercise Therapy: Ambulation is coded 0221). Occasionally an intervention is located in only one class but has a code that is assigned to another class (e.g., Nutritional Counseling is located in class D, Nutrition Support, but is coded 5246 to indicate that it is a counseling intervention). The interventions in each class are listed alphabetically, but the numbers may not be sequential because of additions and deletions. The last two classes in the domain Health System (Health System Management, coded a, and Information Management, coded b) contain many of the indirect care interventions (those that would be included in overhead costs).
The taxonomy first appeared in the second edition of NIC in 1996 with 6 domains and 27 classes. The third edition, published in 2000, included one new domain (Community) and three new classes: Childrearing Care (coded Z) in the Family domain and Community Health Promotion and Community Risk Management in the Community domain (c and d). In this edition, no new domains or classes were added; the 23 new interventions were easily placed in the existing classes.
The coding guidelines used for this and previous editions are summarized as follows:
• Interventions that are most concrete are coded using the fourth digit.
