A second progress note method is the PIE format. The narrative note includes P-Nursing diagnosis, I-Intervention, and E-Evaluation. The intervention is "Demonstrated use of crutches." "Patient went up and down stairs" and "Used crutches with no difficulties" are examples of E. "Deficient knowledge regarding crutches" is P.
