1. Nursing process order (ADPIE):
A. Planning, Assessment, Implementation
B. Implementation, Diagnosis, Evaluation ✓ Correct Answer
C. Assessment, Implementation, Planning
D. Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
Rationale: ADPIE: Assessment (subjective/objective data), Diagnosis (NANDA nursing diagnoses), Planning (SMART
goals, interventions), Implementation (execute interventions), Evaluation (compare outcomes to goals, modify plan).
Continuous cycle.

A. BP 130/85
B. HR 92 ✓ Correct Answer
C. Skin warm and dry
D. Patient states: 'I have chest pressure that feels like an elephant on my chest'
Rationale: Subjective: what patient states (symptoms, feelings, perceptions). Document in patient's own words using
quotation marks. Objective: observable/measurable — vital signs, physical exam, lab values, observable behaviors.
3. Objective data example:
A. Patient says 'I feel tired'
B. Patient reports pain 6/10 ✓ Correct Answer
C. Patient states 'I'm anxious'
D. Patient has 4+ pitting edema in bilateral lower extremities
Rationale: Objective: observable/measurable findings — physical exam (edema, skin color, breath sounds), vital signs,
lab/diagnostic results, observable behaviors (crying, grimacing). Subjective: patient's verbal reports of symptoms, feelings,
pain.
4. PES format for nursing diagnosis:
A. Patient, Environment, Situation
B. Plan, Evaluation, Standards ✓ Correct Answer
C. Problem, Evaluation, Signs
D. Problem, Etiology (related to), Symptoms (as evidenced by)

by' patient rating pain 7/10, grimacing, guarding). Three-part statement for nursing diagnosis. Two-part if symptoms not
yet present (risk diagnoses).
