The nurse understands that the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) taxonomy system can be compared to :
 
  1. Nursing diagnosis statement
  2. Planning portion of the care plan
  3. Goal statement of the traditional care plan
  4. Implementation phase of the care plan

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The nursing diagnosis statement must follow the NANDA format.
Rationale 2: Goal setting is part of the planning, but the NOC outcome is narrower in use than general planning.
Rationale 3: The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) describes client outcomes that respond to nursing interventions seen in traditional care plans.
Rationale 4: Implementation is compared to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomy.
