How this exercise works
Drag each nursing statement into Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, or Evaluation. Only one phase fits each statement — look for data vs. action cues.
Fundamental concept
How systematic ADPIE thinking supports safe practical nursing care, aligned with HHS quality initiatives.
Read: The Nursing Process: Assessment Through Evaluation →Scenario
A client admitted for pancreatitis has fasting glucose 286 mg/dL, polyuria, polydipsia, and acetone breath odor.
Nursing statements
Drag each statement into the correct ADPIE phase, or into trash if it does not belong.
Risk for unstable blood glucose related to insulin deficiency and illness.
Blood glucose will trend toward 140–180 mg/dL with ordered therapy.
Monitor blood glucose per sliding scale orders and assess for ketosis signs.
Evaluate glucose response 2 hours after insulin adjustment.
Review fluid balance, weight, and neurologic status.
Hold all insulin because the client is NPO without provider direction.
Administer insulin and IV fluids per protocol; maintain NPO if ordered.
Trash — not part of the process
