The other issues can WAIT!) • Make sure to do non-pharm actions, meds, consults, teachings, other diagnostics • Implement • Least Invasive to Most Invasive (unless it is true emergency) • Evaluate (go back to Assessment) For Example: Assessment – pain 8/10, constipation, fever 102F (fever is the most concerning) Analysis – possible infection Plan – ice pack, cooling measures, antipyretics, infection control consult, teach about infection control, ask MD for CBC/blood cultures/etc. (ONLY PLAN FOR THE PRIORITY! THE OTHER ISSUES CAN WAIT!) Implement (least invasive 1st) Evaluate (if not resolved, go back to AAPIE) REPEAT AAPIE FOR THE OTHER ISSUES! Each problem is its own AAPIE!
