AB  - Nursing language plays an important role in describing and defining nursing 
      phenomena and nursing actions. There are numerous vocabularies describing nursing 
      diagnoses, interventions and outcomes in nursing. However, the lack of a 
      standardized unified nursing language is considered a problem for further 
      development of the discipline of nursing. In an effort to unify the nursing 
      languages, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) has proposed the 
      International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) as a unified nursing 
      language system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inclusiveness and 
      expressiveness of the ICNP terms by cross-mapping them with the existing nursing 
      terminologies, specifically the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association 
      (NANDA) taxonomy I, the Omaha System, the Home Health Care Classification (HHCC) 
      and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Nine hundred and seventy-four 
      terms from these four classifications were cross-mapped with the ICNP terms. This 
      was performed in accordance with the Guidelines for Composing a Nursing Diagnosis 
      and Guidelines for Composing a Nursing Intervention, which were suggested by the 
      ICNP development team. An expert group verified the results. The ICNP Phenomena 
      Classification described 87.5% of the NANDA diagnoses, 89.7% of the HHCC 
      diagnoses and 72.7% of the Omaha System problem classification scheme. The ICNP 
      Action Classification described 79.4% of the NIC interventions, 80.6% of the HHCC 
      interventions and 71.4% of the Omaha System intervention scheme. The results of 
      this study suggest that the ICNP has a sound starting structure for a unified 
      nursing language system and can be used to describe most of the existing 
      terminologies. Recommendations for the addition of terms to the ICNP are 
      provided.
