Which option correctly lists the three components of the Omaha System?

• A. Problem Classification Scheme; Intervention Scheme; Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes
• B. Problem Classification Scheme; Intervention Scheme; Outcome Scale
• C. Diagnosis; Plan; Assessment
• D. Assessment Tool; Intervention Plan; Outcome Tracker

Answer: (A)

The Omaha System is built on three components that standardize how problems, actions, and outcomes are documented in community health nursing. The Problem Classification Scheme provides a standardized list of client problems to chart, the Intervention Scheme catalogs the actions or strategies nurses use to address those problems, and the Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes offers a way to measure and track progress for each problem over time. This combination matches the official framework, making it the correct choice. Other options use terms that either describe a different model or use nonstandard Omaha terminology, so they don’t fit the system’s structure.
