Which standardized nursing terminology is comprised of (1) a problem classification scheme, (2) an intervention scheme, and (3) a problem rating scale for outcomes?

• A. PNDS
• B. NANDA-I
• C. OMAHA
• D. ICNP

Answer: (C)

The terminology described is organized as a complete care framework that combines problem classification, interventions, and outcomes measurement within one system. The Omaha System is built exactly on these three parts: a Problem Classification Scheme to document client problems, an Intervention Scheme to record the actions the nurse takes, and a Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes to rate changes in knowledge, behavior, and status related to those problems over time. This integrated structure supports consistent documentation, planning, and evaluation across community and home-care settings, which is why it’s the best fit. Other terminologies focus on diagnoses or interventions or outcomes separately and do not present this three-part package as a single unified system.
