yourself
what is the question asking
assume that the resources needed to provide cost-effective assessment, dx, and
tx based on the evidence are
available
clinical decision-making process has 5 major components, usually performed
sequentially
ADPIE
assessment
diagnosis plan
intervention
evaluate
What types of data are collected during an assessment?
Subjective data (health history - HPI) and objective data (physical exam, available
diagnostic results)
,What should you anticipate being tested on during an assessment? Classic
presentation of diseases
What is the process of determining a working diagnosis in psychology? Analyze
assessment data.
What should be considered when diagnosing in psychology? Common
health problems seen in psych.
What is expected regarding the presenting problem in diagnosis? It
should occur in the most common risk groups.
plan
developing a plan of care
think EBP
intervention
implementing a plan of care and rx intervention to attain expected outcome
think first-line intervention
What is the purpose of evaluation in patient care? To
assess the patient's attainment of treatment goals. When
should the plan of care be adjusted?
Based on the patient's response.
When is evaluation performed in the patient care process? After
diagnosis, planning, and intervention.
when unsure ab the answer to a clinical question
apply ADPIE to ascertain what part of the care continuum you are being tested on and

, Critical reasoning
How many correct answers are usually found in NP board test questions? Usually
more than 1 correct answer, but 1 best answer

III.
IV.
II- eyes
Cranial Nerve I
nose (one nose)
Cranial nerve II
eyes (two eyes)
What does the term FIRST indicate in a question?
It allows the test taker to demonstrate skills at assessing clinical priorities. What does
ABC safety often direct?
The answer to a question.
What does INITIALLY refer to in the context of patient care?
It indicates the importance of assessing the patient's position in the care continuum
ADPID.
What is the first step in the ADPID care continuum? Assess before
diagnosis.
What comes after the working diagnosis in the ADPID care continuum? Plan before
intervention.
What should be done prior to evaluating the response to care? Intervention.
