MSNFP6021 Capella University Patient Nursing Diagnosis Concept Map. Description
Overview
Create a concept map of a chosen condition, disease, or disorder with glucose regulation or metabolic balance considerations. Write a brief narrative (2–3 pages) that explains why the evidence cited in the concept map and narrative are valuable and relevant, as well as how specific interprofessional strategies will help to improve the outcomes presented in the concept map.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you should complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
The biopsychosocial (BPS) approach to care is a way to view all aspects of a patient’s life. It encourages medical practitioners to take into account not only the physical and biological health of a patient, but all considerations like mood, personality, and socioeconomic characteristics. This course will also explore aspects of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment (the three Ps) as they relate to specific conditions, diseases, or disorders.
The first assessment is one in which you will create a concept map to analyze and organize the treatment of a specific patient with a specific condition, disease, or disorder.
Assessment Instructions
SCENARIO
You have already learned about evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives in previous courses. You will use this information to guide your assessments, while also implementing new concepts introduced in this course. For this assessment, you will develop a concept map and provide supporting evidence and explanations. You may use the case studies presented in the Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, a case study from the literature or your practice that is relevant to the list of conditions below, or another relevant case study you have developed. This case study will provide you with the context for creating your concept map. You may also use the practice context from the case study or extrapolate the case study information and data into your own practice setting. Think carefully when you are selecting the case study for this assessment, as you may choose to build upon it for the second assessment as well.
Some example conditions, diseases and disorders that are relevant to metabolic balance and glucose regulation considerations are:
Cancer.
Diabetes (type 2).
HIV/AIDS.
Hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism.
Metabolic syndrome.
Obesity.
Polycycstic ovary syndrome.
Prediabetes.
Pregnancy.
INSTRUCTIONS
Develop a concept map and a short narrative that supports and further explains how the concept map is constructed. You may choose to use the Concept Map Template (in the Resources) as a starting point for your concept map, but are not required to do so. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your evidence-based plan addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Concept Map scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Concept Map document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.
Part 1: Concept Map
Develop an evidence-based concept map that illustrates a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes for a condition that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.
Part 2: Additional Evidence (Narrative)
Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis for your concept map.
Analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to achievement of desired outcomes.
Construct concept map and linkage to additional evidence in a way that facilitates understanding of key information and links.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Length of submission: Your concept map should be on a single page, if at all possible. You can submit the concept map as a separate file, if you need to. Your additional evidence narrative should be 2–3 double-spaced, typed pages. Your narrative should be succinct yet substantive.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your concept map, decisions made regarding care, and interprofessional strategies. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting:
For the concept map portion of this assessment: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style. Please include references both in-text and in the reference page that follows your narrative.
For the narrative portion of this assessment: use the APA Paper Template linked in the Resources. An APA Template Tutorial is also provided to help you in writing and formatting your analysis. You do not need to include an abstract for this assessment.

Answer Writing Guide,
MSNFP6021 Capella University Patient Nursing Diagnosis Concept Map
To begin, you will need to select a condition, disease, or disorder from the list provided that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects. Once you have selected a specific case study, you will need to conduct research to gather evidence-based information to support the development of your concept map.
When creating the concept map, consider the following:
Identify the key components of the patient’s condition and how they are related to glucose regulation and metabolic balance.
Develop a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes for the patient.
Use evidence-based practices and research to support your plan.
Consider interprofessional strategies that can be used to improve patient outcomes.
Your narrative should justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis for your concept map. You should also analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to the achievement of desired outcomes.
Make sure that your concept map is clear and easy to understand. You may use the Concept Map Template provided in the resources, or create your own. Your narrative should be concise yet informative, and correctly formatted according to current APA style.
Remember to cite at least 3-5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your concept map and interprofessional strategies. Ensure that your resources are no more than five years old.
With that, this assessment requires careful consideration of the patient’s condition, evidence-based research, and interprofessional strategies to develop a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes.
