Patient-Centered Concept Map
A patient-centered concept map is a visual representation of a patient's health status, including their health concerns, medical history, and current health status, as well as their personal goals and preferences. This tool can be used by healthcare providers to better understand a patient's unique needs and to work collaboratively with the patient to develop a care plan that is tailored to their specific needs and preferences. The patient-centered concept map can be an effective way to facilitate communication between the patient and their healthcare team, and to help ensure that the patient's care is truly patient-centered and aligned with their goals and values.
Creating the Concept Map
Creating my patient-centered concept map involved a multi-step process. As the healthcare provider, I started by gathering information about the patient's medical history, current health status, and any ongoing health concerns or issues. This information was obtained through interviews with the patient, review of medical records, and physical exams.
Once this information was collected, I worked with the patient to identify their personal goals and preferences for their health and healthcare. This involved discussing the patient's values, beliefs, and lifestyle factors that may impact their health and healthcare. Lifestyle factors were a major consideration here, as they helped in identifying the patient's personal goals and preferences. The patient's lifestyle could be seen as having a significant impact on their health and wellbeing, so it was important to understand how their daily habits and routines were affecting their health. On top of this, it was important to incorporate values and beliefs to better identify goals and realistic pathways to those goals. This involved discussing things like diet and exercise habits, sleep patterns, stress levels, and other lifestyle factors that were impacting the patient's health.
Using this information, the I then created a visual representation of the patient's health status. This included information such as medical diagnoses, medications, symptoms, and other relevant health information. The patient's personal goals and preferences were then integrated into the concept map. This included goals related to managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and achieving specific health outcomes.
Throughout the process, the patient was actively involved in the creation of the concept map, and their input and feedback were taken into account. As the healthcare provider who values cultural competencies, I also took into account the patient's cultural and linguistic background to ensure that the concept map was understandable and culturally appropriate. Health literacy was also an important consideration of mine, as I aimed to ensure that the concept map...…options for managing Roy's blood glucose levels, such as dietary modifications and exercise. We worked together to develop a personalized diet and exercise plan that took into account Roy's individual needs, preferences, and cultural background.
Throughout the process, I made sure to incorporate Roy's cultural beliefs and values into the plan of care. I took the time to understand his cultural background and worked to incorporate his cultural practices and beliefs into the plan of care. In terms of communication strategies, I made sure to use clear and simple language when explaining medical concepts to Roy and his family. I also encouraged them to ask questions and provide feedback to ensure that they had a clear understanding of Roy's health and healthcare.
Use of Evidence
The evidence provided, including the American Diabetes Association Professional Practice Committee's Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2022, are appropriate for addressing Roy's health issue of non-compliance with insulin therapy and the unique situation of his family. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for comprehensive medical evaluation, assessing comorbidities, and facilitating behavior change and well-being to improve health outcomes. They are particularly relevant to Roy's situation, as they offer specific guidance on managing diabetes in older adults, a population that is at higher risk for complications and requires specialized…
The article by Corbett (2012) on wound care nursing is also relevant, as it highlights the importance of proper wound care and infection prevention in patients with diabetes. This is particularly important for Roy, who is at risk for infection due to his non-compliance with insulin therapy.
The nursing diagnosis and care plan provided by Mammy and Esther (2023) on the risk for infection is also appropriate for Roy's situation, as it provides a framework for identifying potential sources of infection and implementing strategies to reduce the risk of infection.
To plan my interventions, I used the American Diabetes Association Professional Practice Committee's guidelines to develop a comprehensive care plan that addressed Roy's specific needs and goals. This involved working with Roy and his family to develop a clear communication plan, providing education on proper insulin administration techniques, and developing a personalized diet and exercise plan. The article by Corbett (2012) informed my interventions related to wound care and infection prevention, while the nursing diagnosis and care plan provided by Mammy and Esther (2023) helped me identify potential sources of infection and implement strategies to reduce the risk of infection.
Concept Map Ethical dilemma in nursing takes place when the experiences of the registered nurse are conflicting with personal values as well as beliefs and some element of patient care. One of the key moral dilemmas that a nurse can face while providing care is the treatment of a patient at the end of life. Towards the patient’s end of life, there is usually a problem as to which course of

sight, Through the Children's Gate by Adam Gopnik, seems a collection of blurred essays. As I read further the more these essays seemed to me to revolve around a certain theme. Existentialism. The fact that we are all unique, each having our own views on life, and ways of livingwe may find it hard to communicate with one another or to understand each other. We each have our own
