A nursing student has been providing care for a client at the health care facility for the past several days. The client has a number of comorbid health problems and is being simultaneously treated for many of these
The student has chosen to create a concept map because concept mapping allows the student to: A) Identify the health problem that is most deserving of the student's care and attention
B) Identify the relationships between the various aspects of the client's health circumstances
C) Create a plan that differentiates between nursing diagnoses and medical diagnoses
D) Evaluate the applicability of nursing diagnoses and the effectiveness of nursing interventions
B
Feedback:
A concept map is primarily a tool for organizing data and identifying relationships. It is not primarily a tool for prioritizing particular health problems or facilitating evaluation of interventions. Concept mapping can be used to inform care planning, but the two processes are not synonymous.
