Study Notes
Nursing Process: ADPIE
- The nursing process consists of five critical steps: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADPIE).
- It serves as a systematic method to deliver patient-centered care.
Assessment
- Involves the systematic collection, analysis, validation, and communication of patient data.
- Data reflects health promotion or compromise due to illness/injury, aiding in care plan development.
- Critical thinking in assessment includes systematically identifying nursing and medical concerns, detecting bias, and making judgments about data significance.
Establishing Priorities
- Use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to prioritize patient care: physiological, safety, love/belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization.
- Consider patient preferences, anticipated future problems, and critical thinking.
- Identify which problems require immediate attention and those suitable for standard care plans.
Implementation
- The purpose is to help patients achieve desired health outcomes and prevent illness.
- Involves direct and indirect nursing care, care coordination, and continuity.
- Nurses must assess patients prior to interventions, monitor responses, and adapt the care plan as necessary.
- Alfaro’s rule: “assess, reassess, revise, record” supports ongoing evaluation and modification.
Types of Nursing Interventions
- Can be classified as independent, collaborative, direct, or indirect care.
- Must adhere to standards of care and ethical guidelines; effectiveness is enhanced by a variety of skilled intervention options.
Variables Affecting Nursing Care
- Factors influencing patient compliance include understanding of treatment benefits, family support, financial considerations, and emotional responses.
- Nurse variables include experience, burnout, resources available, and adherence to professional standards.
Evaluation
- Involves measuring patient outcomes against care plan expectations and modifying plans based on findings.
- Five classic elements: identifying criteria, collecting performance data, interpreting results, documenting results, and modifying the care plan as necessary.
- Evaluation determines whether patients have met, partially met, or not met outcomes outlined in the care plan.
Key Questions
- Evaluating prioritization involves recognizing which patient issues are high priority, such as impaired gas exchange over less critical issues like disturbed personal identity.
- Nurses must reassess the patient and review the care plan regularly to ensure alignment with patient needs and outcomes.
