Tables: Action Types
Definition
The CCC of Nursing Interventions use four Action Type qualifiers to depict the different interventions. One Action Type is required for each intervention to document patient care.
The Action Type qualifiers were derived from the nursing service statements that depicted the different core interventions. By using a qualifiers the nursing intervention are more precise and provide another facet of the care process. The qualifiers also add another dimension to the coding process making it easier to code, classify, and analyze each intervention.
