Abraham Maslow

American psychologist who developed the Hierarchy of Needs and humanistic psychology.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

A theory used in nursing to prioritize patient care based on levels of human needs.

Purpose of Maslow's Hierarchy

Helps nurses determine which patient needs should be addressed first.

Five Levels of Maslow's Hierarchy

Physiological, Safety, Love & Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization.

Lowest Level of Maslow's Hierarchy

Physiological needs.

Highest Level of Maslow's Hierarchy

Self-actualization.

Physiological Needs

Basic survival needs such as airway, breathing, circulation, food, water, sleep, elimination, and temperature regulation.

Examples of Physiological Needs

Airway, oxygen, breathing, food, water, sleep, elimination.

Nursing Priority in Physiological Needs

Meet life-threatening needs first because the patient can die if these are not addressed.

Safety and Security Needs

Protection from harm, injury, illness, and environmental dangers.

Examples of Safety Needs

Fall prevention, infection prevention, medication safety, safe environment.

Love and Belonging Needs

Need for relationships, family, friendship, and emotional support.

Nursing Interventions for Love and Belonging

Encourage family visits, provide emotional support, promote communication.

Esteem Needs

Need for self-respect, confidence, independence, and achievement.

Nursing Interventions for Esteem

Encourage independence, praise progress, promote self-care.

Self-Actualization

Reaching one's full potential through growth and personal achievement.

Nursing Role in Self-Actualization

Support long-term goals, wellness, rehabilitation, and motivation.

Maslow Priority Rule

Treat physiological needs before safety, emotional, or psychological needs.

ABC Priority

Airway, Breathing, Circulation.

Maslow Memory Trick

ABC first, then safety, then everything else.

ADPIE

The five-step nursing process: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation.

Purpose of ADPIE

A systematic, patient-centered approach to nursing care.

Assessment

First step of ADPIE that involves collecting patient information.

Subjective Data

Information reported by the patient that cannot be directly measured.

Examples of Subjective Data

"I have pain," "I feel dizzy," "I feel nauseous."

Objective Data

Information observed or measured by the nurse.

Examples of Objective Data

Blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, lab values, swelling.

Methods of Assessment

Interview, physical examination, health history.

Diagnosis

Second step of ADPIE that identifies patient problems using nursing diagnoses.

NANDA

Standardized nursing diagnosis system.

Medical Diagnosis

Identifies a disease or condition.

Nursing Diagnosis

Identifies the patient's response to a health condition.

Types of Nursing Diagnoses

Actual diagnosis, Risk diagnosis, Health promotion diagnosis.

Actual Diagnosis

An existing patient problem.

Risk Diagnosis

A potential problem that has not yet occurred.

Health Promotion Diagnosis

A diagnosis focused on improving wellness.

Example Nursing Diagnosis

Acute pain related to surgical incision.

Planning

Third step of ADPIE where priorities, goals, and interventions are developed.

SMART Goals

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.

Example SMART Goal

Patient will report pain ≤3/10 within 24 hours.

Implementation

Fourth step of ADPIE where nursing interventions are performed.

Independent Nursing Intervention

Actions the nurse can perform without a provider order.

Examples of Independent Interventions

Turning the patient, patient education, repositioning.

Dependent Nursing Intervention

Requires a healthcare provider's order.

Examples of Dependent Interventions

Medication administration, oxygen therapy.

Collaborative Nursing Intervention

Performed with other healthcare professionals.

Documentation

Essential during implementation to record all nursing care provided.

Evaluation

Final step of ADPIE comparing expected outcomes with actual outcomes.

Purpose of Evaluation

Determine whether goals were met and modify the care plan if needed.

Goal Met

Expected outcome achieved completely.

Goal Partially Met

Some improvement but goal not fully achieved.

Goal Not Met

No improvement or condition worsened.

After Evaluation

Continue, revise, or discontinue the care plan.

Importance of ADPIE

Improves patient safety, promotes critical thinking, and provides quality nursing care.

ADPIE Cycle

Assessment → Diagnosis → Planning → Implementation → Evaluation → Repeat.

Key Nursing Skills in ADPIE

Critical thinking, communication, clinical judgment, documentation, patient education.

Common Nursing Diagnoses

Acute pain, Risk for infection, Impaired gas exchange, Deficient fluid volume, Anxiety.

Assessment Data

All subjective and objective information collected about the patient.

Subjective Data Source

Patient interview or caregiver report.

Objective Data Source

Physical assessment, vital signs, labs, diagnostic tests.

Difference Between Subjective and Objective Data

Subjective is what the patient says; objective is what the nurse observes or measures.

Priority Setting

Life-threatening problems first, then safety, then basic needs.

Life-Threatening Priority

Airway, breathing, circulation (ABC).

Purpose of Care Planning

Create an individualized nursing plan to meet patient needs.

First Step in Care Planning

Review assessment data.

Second Step in Care Planning

Identify nursing diagnoses.

Third Step in Care Planning

Prioritize problems.

Fourth Step in Care Planning

Set SMART goals.

Fifth Step in Care Planning

Plan nursing interventions.

Sixth Step in Care Planning

Write expected outcomes.

Final Step in Care Planning

Evaluate and revise the care plan.

Expected Outcome

Measurable improvement expected after nursing interventions.

Example Expected Outcome

Stable vital signs, improved mobility, reduced pain.

Acute Pain Nursing Diagnosis

Common after surgery due to tissue trauma.

Excess Fluid Volume

Common nursing diagnosis for congestive heart failure.

Impaired Gas Exchange

Common nursing diagnosis for pneumonia or respiratory illness.

Intervention for Acute Pain

Assess pain, administer analgesics, reposition patient, teach relaxation techniques.

Intervention for CHF

Monitor weight, restrict sodium and fluids, administer diuretics, monitor intake and output.

Intervention for Pneumonia

Monitor oxygen saturation, administer oxygen, encourage coughing and deep breathing.

Assessment Example (Post-op Patient)

Pain 8/10, decreased mobility, elevated temperature.

Diagnosis Example (Post-op Patient)

Acute pain related to surgical incision.

Planning Example (Post-op Patient)

Pain will decrease to ≤3/10 within 24 hours.

Implementation Example (Post-op Patient)

Give pain medication, reposition patient, monitor incision.

Evaluation Example (Post-op Patient)

Determine whether pain decreased to the goal.

Assessment Example (Asthma)

Wheezing, shortness of breath, oxygen saturation 89%.

Diagnosis Example (Asthma)

Impaired gas exchange.

Priority for Asthma Patient

Physiological needs (breathing).

Assessment Example (Fall Risk)

Weakness, dizziness, history of falls.

Diagnosis Example (Fall Risk)

Risk for falls.

Priority for Fall Risk Patient

Safety needs.

Simple Way to Remember Subjective Data

Said by the patient.

Simple Way to Remember Objective Data

Observed or measured by the nurse.

Most Important Technique in Nursing Prioritization

ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation).

Purpose of Nursing Diagnosis

Guides nursing care based on patient responses rather than diseases.
