APIE stations

1. Assessment- A scenario-based station including an Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure (ABCDE) Scenarios are pen portraits of patients with specific illnesses such as asthma. A completion of an observation chart for example: National Early Warning Score (NEWS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
2. Planning- A silent written station. Identify and document 2 relevant Nursing needs/problems chosen by the Candidate, related to the Assessment station.
3. Implementation- Medication Management
4. Evaluation- SBAR Tool (Verbal Communication). Document notes concerning a patient transfer to ward or discharge home. These notes are to assist the Candidate and are not marked by the Assessor. Verbal Situation Background Assessment Recommendations handover to a health professional or Assessor.
