In ADIME format, what does each letter represent?

• A. A = Assessment, D = Diagnosis, I = Intervention, M = Monitoring and Evaluation, E = Evaluation and re-evaluation
• B. A = Assessment, D = Diagnosis, I = Intervention, M = Evaluation, E = Monitoring and Evaluation
• C. A = Assessment, D = Data collection, I = Intervention, M = Monitoring and Evaluation, E = Evaluation
• D. A = Assessment, D = Diagnosis, I = Intervention, M = Evaluation, E = Monitoring and Evaluation

Answer: (B)

ADIME is a structured way to document the nutrition care process, with each letter representing a distinct stage: Assessment, Diagnosis, Intervention, and then two steps focused on follow-up. After you’ve gathered and analyzed information (Assessment) and identified the nutrition problem (Diagnosis) and chosen actions to address it (Intervention), the next phase is about checking how things are progress­ing and whether the plan is working. In the mapping shown, the letters correspond to A = Assessment, D = Diagnosis, I = Intervention, M = Evaluation, and E = Monitoring and Evaluation. This means the formal evaluation of outcomes is treated as its own step, while the ongoing tracking of progress and the overall judgment about effectiveness are captured under Monitoring and Evaluation. This arrangement emphasizes that after implementing an intervention, there is a clear evaluation of results, and then continuous monitoring data informs whether re-evaluation is needed or if adjustments should be made. Other mappings either assign data collection to a different stage or split Monitoring and Evaluation differently, which changes how the follow-up work is organized, whereas this option keeps evaluation as a distinct step with ongoing monitoring bundled into the final component.
