TI  - Nursing terminology: a comparison of the ICNP and the nursing intervention 
      lexicon and taxonomy.
PG  - 604-8
AB  - The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of nursing terminology work 
      done to date and to compare the labels and subsumed terms of the recent alpha 
      version of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) with the 
      verb terms (n = 147) of the interventions in a dataset of interventions (n = 
      7292) categorized using the Nursing Intervention Lexicon and Taxonomy (NILT). Two 
      estimates were used to evaluate the adequacy of the ICNP terms for representing 
      intervention terminology. Term matches were done using the NILT categories most 
      similar to the ICNP action types. The ICNP action type 'observing' (and its 
      subsumed terms) was best, accounting for 20% of the NILT verbs. The ICNP label 
      'observing' (and its subsumed terms) ranked first in accounting for 69% of the 
      interventions in the NILT categories (CND & CV). The remaining action types had 
      many fewer matches for the verbs and interventions in the NILT dataset. Thus it 
      is possible to conclude that a relatively small subset of the verb terms, and 
      interventions in a dataset of natural language interventions categorized using 
      NILT have been captured by the INCP alpha version of Axis A.
