The PES model stands for Problem, Etiology, and Signs/Symptoms. Nursing diagnoses A (Ineffective coping related to depression as evidenced by suicide attempt) and D (Nutrition less than adequate related to anxiety as evidenced by weight loss of ten pounds) both identify the problem (ineffective coping or inadequate nutrition), the etiology or cause (depression or anxiety), and signs/symptoms (suicide attempt, weight loss of ten pounds). This demonstrates that the nurse has used the PES model appropriately. The other nursing diagnoses do not include all three components of the PES model.
