Answer 1

APIE stands for Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation. This framework when used by a nurse can help them in an effective patient care step by step without missing anything in a systematic way.

The description of sharp pain and rating of it are subjective data in the assessment part (a &b)

Patient receiving oral Vicodin in the medication regimen falls under implementation of care.(d)

The patient when mobilised to the bathroom twice with support ,the grimacing showed by her, is a way of evaluating the implemented work

Ans.c.she ambulated to bathroom twice with assistance, but grimaced while walking
