Concept Map

Concept Map
Fill in the concept map linked below with the information you have on your most recent patient. Then look at opportunities, real or imagined, for collaborative and/or interdisciplinary care. What could you do to make everything and everyone work together for the good of the patient?

Evaluation may be real or imagined as well. Think “outside” the realm of the clinical picture you’re presented. If you believe the suggested improvements to care will benefit the patient, say so! If you are not convinced that the prescribed collaboration will be effective, say that as well.

Total 20
1. Clinical Manifestations and Subjective & Objective Data:
List the symptoms and signs your patient is presenting. These could include physical symptoms, behavioral changes, or anything else relevant to the patient’s condition. Subjective data involves the patient’s self-reported experiences, while objective data includes measurable observations by healthcare professionals.

2. Patient Data: PMH and Significant Findings:
Provide a summary of the patient’s medical history (PMH) and any relevant past medical conditions. Highlight findings that are directly related to the current health issue and may impact the patient’s care.

3. Nursing Diagnosis and Measurable Goal:
Choose an appropriate nursing diagnosis using NANDA wording. Make sure the diagnosis accurately reflects the patient’s condition. Define a measurable and reasonably attainable goal that can guide the patient’s care.

4. Laboratory and Test Data:
List any relevant laboratory tests, imaging, or diagnostic results that contribute to the understanding of the patient’s condition. These results can help guide treatment decisions and interventions.

5. Interventions based on Collaboration and Interdisciplinary Care:
Discuss opportunities for collaborative care among different healthcare professionals. This could involve physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, etc. Describe how each discipline can contribute to the patient’s care and well-being.

6. Evaluation and Improvements:
Think beyond the clinical picture and consider how the proposed collaborative and interdisciplinary care could benefit the patient. If you believe the suggested improvements will enhance the patient’s outcomes, explain why. Conversely, if you’re skeptical about the effectiveness of certain collaborations, provide your reasoning.
