NR-226 Fundamentals [Patient Care] Final Exam Study Outline ADPIE for ALL!!**** The Nursing Process o The purpose of the nursing process is to diagnose and treat human responses (e.g., pati ent sympto... ms, need for knowledge) to actual or potential health problems. Use of the process allows nurses to help patients meet agreed-on outcomes for better health. o The nursing process requires a nurse to use the general and specific critical thinking competencies described earlier to focus on a particular patient's unique needs. The format for the nursing process is unique to the discipline of nursing and provides a common language and process for nurses to “think through” patients' clinical problems • 5 Steps of the Nursing Process (ADPIE) o Assessment ▪ Phases of interview/assessment • An interview is an approach for gathering subjective and objective data from a patient through an organized conversation. An initial interview involves collecting a nursing health history and gathering information about a patient's condition • 1. Orientation and Setting an Agenda o Begin an interview by introducing yourself and your position and explaining the purpose of the interview. Explain why you are collecting data and assure patients that all of the information will be confidential. o Your aim is to set an agenda for how you will gather information about a patient's current chief concerns or problems. Remember, the best clinical interview focuses on a patient's goals, preferences, and concerns and not on your agenda. • 2. Working Phase-Collecting Assessment or Nursing Health History o Start an assessment or a nursing health history with open- ended questions that allow patients to describe more clearly their concerns and problems.
