I have a big test next wednesday on PES statements...the professor did not tell us what she is going to tell us or what kind of case study we might be getting....

My question is, what is the best way to study for a test like this????

Thanks,
Gus

what's PES

[tavo_80816]

PES = Problem, Etiology, Signs/Symptoms

example: Decreased cardiac output R/T decreased tissue perfusion AEB blood pressure of 80/40.

These are NANDAs -- aka nursing diagnoses. Buy a book on them! They were recommended for us and made my care plans (and life, in general) so much easier! If you get a really good one, it will give these specific to a huge variety of disease processes and make them more understandable to you -- instead of just memorizing NANDAs.

This is an amazing book: http://www.amazon.com/Nursing-Care-Plans-Diagnosis-Intervention/dp/0323039545/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1210996608&sr=11-1
