The '''Nursing Interventions Classification''' ('''NIC''') is a care [[wikt:classification|classification]] system which describes the activities that [[nurse]]s perform as a part of the planning phase of the [[nursing process]] associated with the creation of a nursing care plan.

The NIC provides a four level hierarchy whose first two levels consists of a list of 433 different interventions, each with a definition in general terms, and then the ground-level list of a variable number of specific activities a nurse could perform to complete the intervention. The second two levels form a [[Taxonomy (general)|taxonomy]] in which each intervention is grouped into 27 classes, and each class is grouped into six domains.

An intent of this structure is to make it easier for a nurse to select an intervention for the situation, and to use a [[computer]] to describe the intervention in terms of standardized labels for classes and domains. Another intent is in each case to make it easy to use a [[Nursing Minimum Data Set]] (NMDS).

The terminology is an [[American Nurses' Association]]–recognized terminology, which is included in the [[UMLS]], and is [[HL7]] registered.<ref>Iowa Intervention Project (1996).
