NURS-FPX4015- Assessment 3 Concept Map: The 3Ps and Mental Health Care

NURS-FPX4015- Assessment 3 Concept Map: The 3Ps and Mental Health Care

Create a concept map of a mental health diagnosis using one of the mental health scenario case studies presented in this section of the course.

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.

Competencies Measured

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 2: Create evidence based interventions to address the health needs, risks, and resources of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
  • Describe a mental health diagnosis that is supported by relevant and evidence-based sources.
  • 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.
  • The concept map is well-organized and easy to follow, with a clear purpose and goals.
• Competency 4: Perform comprehensive and focused physical assessments using appropriate techniques and tools.
  • Upload the Sentinel-U case study showing the Simulation name OR showing 100% complete.
• Competency 5: Apply scholarly writing standards to communicate evidence based strategies that support safe and effective patient care.
  • The concept map should demonstrate professionalism and effective communication, use appropriate terminology and language. The map should effectively communicate the key concepts related to the diagnosis.
  • The reference list is formatted in APA style. All sources used should be relevant to the topic, evidence-based, and published within the last 5 years.

Introduction

Concept maps are valuable tools in nursing education and practice because they provide a clear and organized way to connect complex health information. In the context of mental health care, concept maps help nurses and other providers visualize the interconnected factors that shape a patient’s condition, such as risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and nursing interventions. By mapping these elements, healthcare professionals can better understand the relationships between pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment, which are essential for creating effective and holistic care plans.

For this assessment, a mental health case study from the Sentinel U simulation will serve as the foundation for the concept map. The selected patient’s diagnosis will be examined using evidence-based sources to ensure accuracy and relevance. The map will incorporate key aspects of the mental health condition, including its pathophysiological mechanisms, pharmacological treatments, physical and mental health assessments, complications, and nursing diagnoses. Additionally, the concept map will identify appropriate nursing interventions aimed at addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate how concept maps can enhance communication, strengthen clinical reasoning, and support the delivery of safe, quality, and patient-centered mental health care. By organizing complex information into a visual framework, the concept map will not only clarify the patient’s clinical picture but also guide evidence-based decision-making and improve health outcomes.
