You have a lot of studying to do for your nursing exam, and you know you\u2019re going to need an extra big cup of coffee. Because it took a little longer to brew, and you\u2019re running 10 minutes late to class, you pour that delicious, warm drink into your thermos, frantically throw it in your backpack, and book it to your first nursing class of the day. When you finally make it to class, you grab your computer out of your bag and open it up, but it won\u2019t turn on. What do you do first?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, first, you\u2019re going to assess the situation (the \u201cA\u201d in ADPIE).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why isn\u2019t the computer turning on? Why is it all wet? Why is your thermos empty? And, why does everything smell like coffee?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this stage, you\u2019re playing detective and strictly gathering data. Similarly, in nursing, this would be the stage in ADPIE when you first meet your patient \u2014&nbsp;the beginning of the assessment phase during which we collect all the data about the patient, both objective and subjective.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, these would be things like your first impression and vitals. What does the patient look like? Does the patient have pale skin? Is the patient groaning in pain? Are their vitals stable? Is their breathing labored? Is the patient angry, scared, confused, or delirious? When taking the health history, do you notice a history of heart problems? What kind of medication is the patient taking?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are all observations and data collection to determine the health of the patient when assessing. As the first step in the process, gathering all this information will allow you to proceed with the next step: your nursing diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nursing Diagnosis: The second step of the nursing process<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Diagnostic-Computer-small.jpg\" alt=\"ADPIE Diagnosis\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cD\u201d in ADPIE stands for diagnosis, bringing us to our next step in the nursing process. After gathering the data from the assessment phase, we need to diagnose the patient.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going back to our example: \u201cWell,\u201d you say to yourself, \u201cit seems to me from all the evidence here, my coffee must\u2019ve leaked out of my thermos onto my computer, and therefore my computer is not working because it has gotten soaked with coffee!\u201d Good deduction, detective!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forming a nursing diagnosis based on guidance from NANDA-I<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing a nursing diagnosis means taking into account the subjective data and considering it alongside the objective data you discovered during your conversations with your patient. In our clinical assessment, when we\u2019re dealing with a patient, we make a nursing diagnosis in which we identify actual or potential medical and health risks.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply, the nursing diagnosis is the clinical judgment that allows nurses to develop a plan for the care of the patient. This four-step process, developed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nanda.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NANDA International, Inc.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the principal organization for defining, distributing, and integrating standardized nursing diagnoses worldwide), should be prioritized based on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/maslow.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This diagnosis is key to the next step in the process: making a nursing care plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A nursing diagnosis differs from a medical diagnosis, made only by a physician. Nursing diagnosis can be mental, spiritual, psychosocial, physical, or a combination of all these factors. It focuses on the overall care of the patient while the medical diagnosis involves only the medical aspect of the patient\u2019s condition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The official definition of the nursing diagnosis from NANDA-I:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems\/life processes. A nursing diagnosis provides the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The four categories of nursing diagnoses provided by the NANDA-I system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Type 1: Actual (Problem-Focused)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problem-focused nursing diagnoses are typically based on the signs and symptoms present in the patient at the time of assessment. Problem-focused diagnoses are the most common nursing diagnoses and the easiest to identify.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Type 2: Risk<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risk nursing diagnosis requires clinical reasoning and nursing judgment and applies when risk factors require intervention from the healthcare team before a problem develops.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Type 3: Health Promotion<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A health promotion nursing diagnosis helps to improve the overall well-being of an individual, family, or community. Examples of a health promotion nursing diagnosis can include public health programs like smoking cessation classes or stress management techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type 4: Syndrome&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A syndrome diagnosis refers to a cluster of nursing diagnoses that occur in a pattern or can all be addressed through the same or similar nursing interventions. An example of a syndrome nursing diagnosis could include syndromes like rape trauma syndrome or post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explaining the nursing diagnosis using Taxonomy II<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In collaboration with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), NANDA-I codes nursing diagnosis according to seven axes: diagnostic concept, time, unit of care, age, health status, descriptor, and topology. In addition, diagnoses are listed alphabetically by their concept. Taxonomy II has three levels: domains (13), classes (47), and nursing diagnoses.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domain 1 &#8211; Health Promotion<\/span>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Awareness<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Management<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domain 2 &#8211;

The nursing diagnosis can help the physician during their assessment and diagnosis phase, in addition to helping to roadmap the patient\u2019s treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing the nursing diagnosis includes three parts: the problem statement, the etiology, and the defining characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Problem statement <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explains the patient\u2019s current health problem and the nursing interventions needed to care for the patient.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Etiology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Communicates related factors and describes the possible reasons for the problem or the conditions in which it developed.

NOTE:&nbsp; For a risk nursing diagnosis, describe the risk factors in lieu of a sign or symptom (for example patient reports smoking 12 cigarettes daily). These risk factors increase the patient\u2019s vulnerability to health problems, but the patient may not be experiencing an actual problem yet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan: The third step of the nursing process<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Plan-small.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Plan-small.jpg\" alt=\"ADPIE Planning\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve assessed and diagnosed the patent, this brings us to \u201cP\u201d in the ADPIE acronym (the third step of the nursing process), which stands for planning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to our computer example: When you look at your computer and have figured out the cause, you now have to make a quick plan. What are you going to do to fix the problem? You decide you need to run to get this computer fixed by a professional. \u201cLet\u2019s see,\u201d you think, \u201cI have to call to see if the store is open, make an appointment, find out if your computer was backed up, leave school, take the bus to 33rd Street, walk two blocks\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we apply this same process to nursing and patient care, we make a plan based on the assessment and nursing diagnosis of our patient(s). You would then set SMART goals for achieving this plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are SMART goals? SMART is an acronym that stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. In the planning phase of the nursing process, you\u2019ll set SMART short-and long-term goals for the patient, and communicate these to the team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From here, we can move on to the implementation phase of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implement: The fourth step of the nursing process<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Implementing-Imp-small.jpg\" alt=\"ADPIE Implementation\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next comes the \u201cI\u201d in ADPIE; the implementation phase of the nursing process. First, let\u2019s circle back to the computer example.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementation is the action part of your plan. This is the phase during which you actually get up and bolt to the computer store to fix this, fast!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice here the difference between the planning stage and the implementation stage. In the planning stage, you are simply forming the plan. <\/span><b>No action has begun yet.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The implementation stage, however, is where you act on that specific plan. Or, intervening.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, when we take this back into nursing and patient care, this is where we implement our plan for our patient(s). As the action portion of the process, this is where our plans are carried out.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementation is the step in which we intervene to help the patient. Implementation can include physically doing something, like giving drugs or applying pressure to a bleeding wound. It can also include providing education like resources for rape victims or a technique for deep breathing. And, in some cases, the implementation of the plan is to do nothing at all. You actively monitor the patent\u2019s status, being mindful of changes in their symptoms, etc. This phase may include only you, the nurse, or the entire healthcare team including other RNs, LPNs, CNAs, patient care technicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and even physicians themselves.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After implementing the nursing process, it\u2019s time to move forward with the next step. It\u2019s vital to evaluate the outcome of your interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluate: The fifth step of the nursing process<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Evaluation-Evaluator-small.jpg\" alt=\"ADPIE Evaluation\" style=\"width:164px;height:255px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we evaluate; the \u201cE\u201d in the ADPIE nursing process. Where does this bring us with the computer example?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the final step, you are done carrying out your plan, and here\u2019s where you are waiting anxiously at the computer store, and the person helping you comes out to tell you, \u201cWell my friend, it\u2019s your lucky day. It was almost too late, but we saved your computer and it works like it\u2019s brand new again. Now, remember, keep liquids far away!\u201d You click the power button and evaluate, did the implementation of the plan achieve the desired outcome? Is the computer turning on? If yes, hooray!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now with patient care, this would be where you ask yourself as a nurse, were we successful in meeting the desired outcome for the patient? Did the plan work or is it in the process of being successful?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If goals were not met with the health of the patient, we need to reassess and begin the process over, noting why the goals weren\u2019t met, and make changes to the new plan of care for the patient to make sure new goals will be completed, in order to accomplish the health goals of patient care.

The ADPIE process (or nursing process) helps nursing care providers to provide swift, effective, and personalized care for their patients. From the moment you encounter a patient through their care, and as you see them out the door, you\u2019ll implement ADPIE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the purpose of ADPIE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before discussing the purpose of ADPIE, it\u2019s important to first understand ADPIE is the acronym used to remember the five steps of \u2014 the systematic, rational-based technique for assessing, planning, and providing nursing care to patients. The process begins with identifying the patient\u2019s healthcare status and actual \u2014 or potential \u2014 health problems and uses this information to establish the patient\u2019s needs and deliver nursing interventions to address these needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the nursing process? And, why is it used?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nursing process <\/span>is potentially the most important assessment and intervention tool in a nurse\u2019s knowledge kit. It\u2019s a well-established, problem-solving technique based on five easy-to-remember steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Through practical application of the nursing processes, nursing care providers can easily determine the healthcare needs of their patients, develop an individualized care plan, swiftly provide patient-centric care, and evaluate the outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is ADPIE Important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nursing process <\/span>is the systematic problem-solving technique used by medical professionals when providing care. ADPIE is the acronym used to remember the five steps of the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. ADPIE helps nursing students and nurses themselves remember the five steps of <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the nursing process<\/span>, while itself provides a thorough framework for nurses to think critically about the needs of their patients and provide an effective, individualized care plan for ensuring proper patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cIGiSRE3u1o\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a class=\"pls-btn pls-btn--lighten-orange pls-white pls-btn--large pls-font-weight-600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/nursing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE TO TRY PICMONIC FREE<\/a><\/center>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Download our mobile app and take Picmonic on the go!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/picmonic-2-0\/id1102493706\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iosappstore-light-1024x361.png\" alt=\"Picmonic iOS App\" class=\"wp-image-8141\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iosappstore-light-1024x361.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iosappstore-light-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iosappstore-light-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iosappstore-light.png 1704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.picmonic.androidapp&amp;hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/googleplaystore-white-1024x361.png\" alt=\"Picmonic Google Play App\" class=\"wp-image-8142\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/googleplaystore-white-1024x361.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/googleplaystore-white-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/googleplaystore-white-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/googleplaystore-white.png 1704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nursing process is a fundamental staple concept to understand in nursing school, both for exams and during clinical with patients and will follow you throughout your entire nursing career.&nbsp; What are the 5 Steps in the Nursing Process?
