Introduction

Concept maps are useful tools to help care providers and patients visualize the big picture of a condition. By being able to present a snapshot of symptoms, impacts, treatments, as well as contributing and risk factors, concept maps can improve communication, treatment planning, and health outcomes. Understanding how to create accurate, well-organized, and easy to understand concept maps will help you improve your efficacy as a healthcare practitioner and the outcomes of the patients you work with.

Instructions

Before beginning this assessment, make sure that you have completed the three Sentinel U case study activities included in the assessment. These will form the basis of your assessment.

For this assessment you will select one of the mental health Sentinel U case study activities and create a concept map that outlines the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the mental health diagnosis from your chosen case study.

The key components of a mental health diagnosis concept map include the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the diagnosis. The concept map should outline the key concepts related to the diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions. The map should be organized using a nursing concept map template, such as spider maps, hierarchical maps, or flow charts, to organize the information. The concept map should be accurate, complete, well-organized, and use appropriate nursing concepts and terminology.

To complete your concept map, you may wish to follow these steps:

1. Select one of the mental health Sentinel U scenarios: 

· Ivy Jackson, 61 YO, Female, African American.

· Marco Mancini, 43 YO, Male, Mediterranean.

· Wesley Blanco, 13 YO, Non-Binary, Filipino, White.

2. Research the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the chosen mental health diagnosis within the Sentinel-U case study. 

3. Complete the case study simulation and download the simulation report showing the patient you selected and showing 100% complete. 

4. Create a concept map that outlines the key concepts related to the chosen diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions.

· You may wish to use the  Concept Map Template [DOCX] , but are also free to create your own.

5. Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years).        

Your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria.

· Diagnosis: Describe a mental health diagnosis. The diagnosis should be accurate and supported by relevant and evidence-based sources.

· Make sure that the diagnosis is accurate and includes specific symptoms or criteria that support the diagnosis.

· Ensure you have downloaded the completed Sentinel-U simulation report showing the patient you selected.

· Concept Map: Create a concept map that outlines the key concepts related to the chosen diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions.

· Make sure that your use of evidence to support the concept map is explicit and relevant, and that the relationships between the concepts are clearly defined.

· Organization: The concept map should be well-organized and easy to follow. The content should be presented in a logical and clear manner, with a clear purpose and goals.

· Also, you should make sure that your map is visually appealing and easy to read, incorporating appropriate use of colors, shapes, and symbols.

· Professional Communication: The concept map should demonstrate professionalism and effective communication. The map should be free of errors and typos and should use appropriate terminology and language. The map should effectively communicate the key concepts related to the diagnosis to a professional audience.

· APA format and style: The reference list should be formatted in APA style. All sources used should be relevant to the topic and evidence-based, published within the last 5 years.

Additional Requirements

· Concept Map: 1-page concept map that clearly organizes the 3Ps related to a mental health diagnosis, risk factors, diagnostics, complications, nursing diagnosis, and nursing interventions.

· SIM Report: Ensure you download the completed SIM report showing the patient selected.

· Reference List: Create an APA style reference list for all sources that you used to help build and support the information in your concept map. Include this in the same document as your concept map, but on its own page.

· APA Style:  Use current APA style for all in-text citations and any current APA-approved font.

Introduction

Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as make decisions regarding the content of the scholarly resources.

Professional Context

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for providing patient-centered, competent care based on current evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research, analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible evidence, determining the type of evidence and being able to make decisions based on the findings of credible evidence is the foundation of evidence-based care.

Preparation

Review the  What Is Scholarly?  Campus page. Specifically, look at the following two items on the page:

· What Are Peer-Reviewed Articles?

· Anatomy of a Scholarly Article.

These will give you the factors that contribute to credibility, which you will need to identify in the article you choose for this assessment.

Also, look at the "Find EPB Articles" section of the  Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences  library guide (found in the guide's left-hand menu). This may help you locate an article to use for this assessment.

Instructions

Write a 2-page analysis of a scholarly research article, demonstrating your ability to locate credible, useful evidence related to a diagnosis of interest selected from the Sentinel U simulation on Patient Management & Delegation. There are 10 patients, each with a different medical diagnosis. Select one patient with a diagnosis of interest to you.

Once you have chosen your diagnosis of interest from the Sentinel U simulation, complete the following:

· Use a credible search engine to locate a research article on your topic.

· Review the article for the following criteria:

· Type of study (quantitative or qualitative, the level on the pyramid of evidence, methodology).

· Credibility factors.

· Importance of content to selected diagnosis.

· The ability to apply the content in your current workplace or patient population.

· Take a screenshot of the abstract and paste it into a Word document (see the  Example of Screenshot [PDF]  document). You can refer to the instructions in the  Taking Screenshots [PDF]  document.

· Create a table or series of text boxes next to or below the screenshot and use that to label each criterion.

· Also take a screenshot of the patient and the diagnosis from Sentinel U simulation you used.

· Write up a summary of your findings on the second page. Note what information is important to your specified diagnosis. How credible is the article you've found and how useful is it related to your specified diagnosis and your ability to apply it?

· Include a link to your article.

· Include a reference to your article in APA format.

Review the Analyzing a Research Paper scoring guide for specific details of grading prior to submission.
