Nursing Interventions Classification

The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a structured system that categorizes specific actions nurses perform to support patient health and recovery. It standardizes nursing practices by defining and organizing interventions, such as education, medication administration, or patient monitoring. NIC helps ensure consistent, evidence-based care across different health settings, making it easier for nurses to communicate, plan, and evaluate their actions effectively. Essentially, it serves as a comprehensive guide to what nurses do to promote health, prevent illness, and manage patient needs.
