Answer to Question 1

2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. While work has been done toward this goal, there is not widespread use of a standardized language to date.
2. Nursing schools have used North America Nursing Diagnosis (NANDA), Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC), and/or Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) languages for many years. Changing to a different standardized language would require major revision to most nursing school curriculums.
3. This statement does not reflect the state of the issue today.
4. Compromise will be required as many professions use languages that are specific to that profession.
5. Developing and adhering to distinct profession-specific terms may be a manifestation of professional's desire to preserve identity, status, or control.

2. Education is part of qualifications and needed.
3. Work experience needed to meet current requirements should be described.
