Summary
This study identified 15 key nursing interventions for cancer screening, aligning them with the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) system. This establishes a standardized documentation system and core competencies for cancer screening nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Oncology
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Standardized documentation is crucial for effective cancer screening.
- The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) provides a framework for nursing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and classify nursing interventions used in cancer screening.
- To establish a nursing documentation system using the NIC taxonomy.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive study design was employed.
- An initial list of interventions was developed and classified.
Main Results:
- 15 distinct nursing interventions were identified.
- These interventions were categorized into four domains and eight classes within the NIC structure.
Conclusions:
- Expert consensus was reached on the duties of cancer screening nurses.
- 15 NIC-aligned interventions are recommended for clinical practice in cancer screening.
- This work is foundational for developing nursing performance indicators and core competencies in cancer screening.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

4.3K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
