WGU Nursing Concept Map - EXAMPLE”

1. First Block: “Recognizing Cues”

1. Painful urination

2. Abdominal pain

3. Back pain due to inflammation/full bladder

4. Fever

5. Confusion

6. Recurrent UTI history

7. Current complaint

8. unable to empty the bladder completely

2. Second Block: “Analyzing Cues/Concerns”

a. Supporting

1. Fever due to infection

2. Confusion due to urine retention

3. Back pain due to inflammation

b. Concerning

1. Fever over 101.5F

2. Residual urine > 250 ml

3. Pain score < 5

3. Third Block: “Prioritizing Hypotheses”

1. There is a good likelihood that antibiotic therapy, and use of phenazopyridine will decrease the bacteria count in the urine, and therefore eradicate the infection.

2. There is a likelihood that increased fluid intake will increase the frequency of urination which will decrease the irritability of the bladder, which will help decrease the risk of further infection.

3. There is a decreased risk of recurrent infections when the patient is educated on the importance of proper hygiene, medication adherence, increased fluid intake, and all other risk factors with verbalization of understanding.

4. Fourth Block: “Generated Solutions”

1. The patient will be free from infection due to the use of antibiotics within three days.

2. The patient will no longer experience pain with urination, will have straw colored urine, and will have adequate urine output due to the increase in fluid intake within 3 days.

3. The patient will be free from pain with urination and bladder irritation with the use of phenazopyridine within 3 days.

4. The patient will be free from infection due to the use of antibiotics within three days.

5. Fifth Block: “Take Actions”

1. Administration of TMP/SMX 800mg by mouth every 12 hrs. and documented in the EHR after every dose.

2. Encourage fluid intake of 8 oz. of fluid every four hrs. during the clinical shift and document the intake each clinical shift.

3. Administer phenazopyridine 1 tablet three times a day for three days, and document in the EHR after every dose.

4. Educate patient on the risk factors each clinical shift until discharge, and document in the EHR after each session.

6. Sixth Block: “Evaluations Outcomes”

1. The patient no longer has a fever, and the infection is improving during the clinical shift.

2. The patient drank 8 oz. of fluids three times during the clinical shift and the color of the urine changed from amber to dark yellow.

3. The patient has been pain-free for the last four hours for the clinical shift.

4. The patient verbalized understanding of initial education on medications and risk factors for UTI by the end of the clinical shift.

7. Seventh Block: “Disease Process/Pathophysiology/Risk Factors”

1. Disease Process

a. Admitted with UTI

2. Pathophysiology

a. The organisms that cause UTI originate in the perineum. They are introduced via the ascending route from the urethra. Caused by gram-negative bacilli normally found in the GI system. Gram-positive bacilli can also cause a UTI.

3. Risk Factors

a. Catheterization, cystoscopic examinations, prior trauma to the urethra, urinary retention, improper hygiene, sexual intercourse.
