Answer: D
Standardization of nursing terminology is most critical for:
synthesizing findings from clinical cases and generating new

terminology that is in some way approved by an appropriate authority.
Its establishment and use are most critical for synthesizing findings
from clinical cases and generating new knowledge.>
developing new approaches for patient assessment <While having a
standardized nursing terminology can pave the way for new
approaches, the most critical development must occur prior to this
action.>
improving disease diagnosis and treatment <While having a
standardized nursing terminology can pave the way for improving
disease diagnosis and treatment, the most critical development must
occur prior to this action.>
developing new medical monitoring devices <While having a
standardized nursing terminology can pave the way for developing
new medical monitoring devices, the most critical development must
, occur prior to this action.>
