Summary
A new International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) terminology subset was created for tuberculosis care. This tool helps identify nursing practice elements based on patient needs.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Public Health
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Tuberculosis (TB) care requires standardized terminology for effective nursing practice.
- Existing nursing terminologies may not fully capture the complexities of TB patient needs.
- The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) offers a framework for nursing language standardization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an ICNP® terminology subset specifically for the care of individuals with tuberculosis.
- To enhance the precision and consistency of nursing documentation in TB care.
Main Methods:
- Methodological research involving literature review to identify empirical indicators of altered needs in TB patients.
- Cross-mapping identified indicators with ICNP® 2017 terms.
- Construction and assessment of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions.
- Structuring the subset based on Wanda Horta's Theory of Basic Human Needs.
Main Results:
- An ICNP® terminology subset for tuberculosis care was successfully developed.
- The subset includes 51 nursing diagnoses/outcomes and 264 nursing interventions.
- The developed subset was validated by nurses in Primary Health Care settings.
Conclusions:
- The created ICNP® subset serves as a technological instrument for nursing practice.
- It facilitates the identification of nursing practice elements directly linked to the affected human needs of TB patients.
- This standardized terminology can improve the quality and efficiency of nursing care for individuals with tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
