The PeriOperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) is specifically designed for the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of surgery. It includes standardized terminology for assessment, interventions, and outcomes related to surgical care. The Omaha System is a general purpose terminology system used in community health settings. NANDA-I and ICNP are both nursing diagnosis classification systems, but they do not specifically address perioperative care.
