oh....yes, lot of mumbo-jumbo indeed when you look at first, but thank you for getting me some stuff sorted out. so i'll do it like this: s:weakness, dysphagia o:was able to eat whole meal with help by nurse and then i come to PIE yadayadayada and it's done. i'll try out, with that actually until now i thought that by objective only measureable stuff comes by. i tried to find some samples of SOAPIEs but every i found had only such stuff as temperature or decubitus and pain scales and such stuff. it seemed like people really run away from any other diagnoses. thank you very much for this post, you showed me totally different perpective on this, actually simple, but i still can't deny that i was blind in front of such thing thank you again for helping out, all of you :)

thank you very much for your replies. so, actually information like "unable to bring food to her mouth" is actually objective? we really had profesors problems on college during "proces of nursing" so really noone showed us proper way to solve SOAPIE. thank you so much

Hi, i'm 20 years old male nurse student from Croatia. As i know, there in USA you become nurse at college. Here is different, we have nursing high school too, so i got my nurse diploma at age of 18, so i saw dead bodes before. my first "real" experience with death was at age of 15 during summer nursing practices which we had to do for two weeks after school year's end. So at the age of 15 i found patient dead and together with other nurse i done post mortal care and all that stuff, and just like you, my emotions were separated from me. i didn't feel sad, did't feel wierd, actually i didn't feel anything, especially not like vomiting since i really have stomach for all tat hospital stuff. So i think you really shouldn't "feel" anything, under that i mean that you shouldn't panic or expressing so obvious feeling like crying or going panic and especially not vomiting and such stuff. It's great thing that you didn't go dramatizing because of few reasons: 1.we do emotional sensitive job, but it still requires some professional aproach in all those hard times like death, especially when you see someone young and beautiful dying so early 2.i think it's also mather of respect for those people, because noone really deserved to get drama around their dead body when they die. it's serious job and it requires from you to act in same way and show respect for dead 3.when you see what we live through every day you are aware that there is no so many people who could that job, and you can be sure that you are one of those people who really can do this job. i know lot of people who started and ended nursing school and never worked again after that, because they realised they can't handle with such job So bravo to you and keep going like that, in my opinion noone really wants nurses with such strong expresing of emotions around. It's nothing strange to act "cold" in such situations, actually i think it's best way to do it. sorry for my bad english and cheers :)

Hi, i'm on last step to finish my second year on college and i totally stucked. You see, i have to display two patient cases, each with three three-day nursing diagnoses which includes nursing care plan and SOAPIE notes. I done 4/6 diagnoses overal, and now i'm stucked with SOAPIE notes on these two diagnoses: feeding self care deficite and high risk for infection. I really have no idea what should i write under the "O" on those two diagnoses.... So can you put some example of what to do here please because it will drive me crazy It's case of patient which has 91 year, and why she cannot eat by herself is all about her weakness and immobility at such age...so if weakness and her statement represent "Subjective", what can i put under "Objective"
