Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 1, 3, 4
The letters APIE refer to Assessment, Problem, Intervention, and Evaluation. When using this method, documentation of assessment includes combining the subjective and objective data. The nurse will draw conclusions from the data, identify and record the problem or problems, and plan to address these problems. Interventions are documented as they are carried out. Evaluation refers to documentation of the response to the plan.
