Study Notes

Nursing Process ADPIE Overview

ADPIE stands for Assessing, Diagnosing, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.
It is a systematic approach used in nursing to provide effective patient care.

Assessing

Defined as the continuous collection, validation, and documentation of patient data.
Focuses on client responses to health problems.
Involves four steps:
- Collect data
- Organize data
- Validate data
- Document data

Diagnosing

Involves interpreting assessment data to identify client strengths and weaknesses.
Represents a conclusion about a patient's condition.
The process consists of three steps:
- Analyze data
- Identify health problems
- Formulate a diagnostic statement

Planning

A systematic and deliberate phase of nursing care that incorporates decision-making and problem-solving.
Utilizes assessment data and diagnostic statements to create client goals and interventions.
Includes four steps:
- Prioritize health issues
- Formulate diagnosis or goals
- Select appropriate interventions
- Write specific nursing interventions

Implementation

The action phase where nurses carry out interventions and document actions.
Can involve direct care or delegation of tasks to others.
Involves five steps:
- Reassess the client
- Determine the need for assistance
- Implement the specified intervention
- Supervise and delegate care as necessary
- Document all activities accurately

Evaluation

An ongoing, purposeful activity aimed at assessing client progression towards goals.
Involves five steps:
- Collect and review data
- Compare outcomes to desired results
- Connect nursing activities to outcomes achieved
- Draw informed conclusions
- Decide whether to continue, modify, or terminate the care plan

P E S

Represents a framework for formulating nursing diagnoses:
- Problem: The patient's health issue.
- Etiology: The cause of the problem.
- Symptoms: The evidence or signs of the problem.

S.M.A.R.T Goals

A method to set effective goals for nursing care:
- Specific: Clearly defined objectives.
- Measurable: Quantifiable indicators of progress.
- Attainable: Realistic and achievable goals.
- Realistic: Relevant to the client's situation.
- Timed: Set within a specific timeframe for completion.
