Answer:
Assessment, documenting, planning, implementation, then evaluation
Explanation:
The five steps of the nursing process that is also used in patient education can be simplified to the mnemonic 'ADPIE,' an acronym standing for assessment, documenting, planning, implementation, and evaluation. It signifies the order in which the steps are to be performed.
In patient education, the first step is to assess what the patient already knows. This can be about a medication, a procedure, a condition and subsequent diagnosis, a prognosis, and or treatments and treatment options.
From here, the nurse can document what the patient knows and indicate areas in which the patient may require further teaching.
Next, the nurse develops a plan for educating the patient. This can be a demonstration followed by a return-demonstration, an informational video, and or simply speaking to them.
After, the nurse implements the plan.
Finally, the nurse evaluates how effective the teaching was and determines the patient's degree of understanding. If they patient has not been sufficiently educated, the process restarts.
