What is a concept map? A concept map is a visual representation of an overarching topic and the relationships between individual ideas, images, or words that lend themselves to the larger picture. Using designated shapes, as well as labeled lines and arrows, concept maps can depict cause and effect, requirements, and contributions between items. Concept maps are ideal for developing logical thinking, dissecting complex systems, and contextualizing specific ideas within larger topics. Source: Lucidspark. (n.d.).

Acute Renal Failure:
Definition: A sudden decrease in kidney function, marked by a rise in serum creatinine or a decrease in urine output.
Pathophysiology: Acute renal failure occurs due to damage to the nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidneys.
Etiology: Prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.
Risk Factors:
Genetic predisposition: Family history of kidney disease.
Environmental factors: Dehydration, exposure to nephrotoxic drugs, and sepsis.
Causative Factors: Hypovolemia, kidney ischemia, obstruction of urine flow, and toxins.
Common Signs and Symptoms: Edema, oliguria, anuria, fatigue, confusion, and metabolic acidosis.
Labs & Diagnostic Tests: Blood tests, urinalysis, renal ultrasound, and kidney biopsy.
Nursing Interventions:
Monitor vital signs, urine output, and electrolyte levels.
Administer intravenous fluids and medications as ordered.
Educate the patient on the importance of following a renal diet.
Medical Treatment: Dialysis, medication to treat underlying causes, and kidney transplantation.
Complications: Hyperkalemia, anemia, uremia, and
