title: Taxonomic classification of transitional follow-up care nursing interventions with low birthweight infants.
abstract: As new models of nursing care have merged, the need to understand the scope and content of nursing practice has increased. The domain of transitional follow-up nursing, an innovative model, was described by classification of nursing interventions according to the Taxonomy of Ambulatory Care Nursing. Content analysis of records of interventions employed by nurse specialists in the transitional follow-up care of very low birthweight infants yielded results that confirm the appropriateness of the Taxonomy of Ambulatory Care Nursing as a descriptor of transitional follow-up care.
