The data were extracted from the Hands-On Automated Nursing Data System database of nursing care plan episodes (n=40,747) coded with NANDA-I, Nursing Outcomes Classification, and Nursing Intervention Classification (NNN) terminologies.

RESULTS: Results show multiple discoveries, including EOL patients with hospital stays (
