Answer to Question 1

B
The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine--Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) is designed to capture clinical information behind the scenes for use in computerized health care records. SNOMED-CT is a coding system that is far more inclusive than ICD-9, as it includes nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions as well as multiple axes that identify causative factors of illness and related functional deficits and social factors. SNOMED-CT is a system that patterns ICD after the axial system in the DSM and includes nursing taxonomies as well.
