Statements A, C, and E indicate that the nurse understands the purpose and use of the Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC) system. The NIC system lets nurses look up interventions based on the nursing diagnosis, and it generally provides appropriate interventions for clients with a given diagnosis. Additionally, NIC interventions are a helpful starting point for nurses when developing client interventions. Statement B is incorrect, as not all clients with a particular diagnosis will require the same interventions. Statement D is also incorrect, as care plans should be individualized based on the client's unique needs and preferences, rather than being overly broad and flexible.
