Concept Map

NURS FPX 6021 Assessment 1 Concept Map KG

The following scenario deals with the St. Anthony Medical Center where a particular patient is chosen related to the concept map to help them regain health. The 31-year-old patient Jasmine experienced diabetes type 2 and had metabolic imbalance with problem with menstrual cycle. The diagnosis of the patient was done on the basis of her medical history as well as doctors took her blood samples for physical examination. The concept map uses subjective as well as objective evidence after investigation of data. The evidence suggests that the stressful and painful condition of the client is due to metabolic syndrome which gave birth to a cluster of conditions to increase the risk of heart disease (Sookoian& Pirola, 2019).

Justification of the Value and Relevance of the Evidence used

The goal of this report is to rely on an evidence-based concept map that helps to exemplify the care plan for nurses to achieve safer and high-quality outcomes. The patient discussed had impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance. In this concept map, the patient will be by knowledge improvement related to urgent diagnoses and the best nursing strategies to improve their interprofessional collaboration and rationales for quality outcomes. The concept map allows for interventions to help the patient overcome her menstrual cycle issues as well.

The value and the relevance of the evidence is justified by the fact that the concept map is based on the useful and relevant information that is based on evidence-based practices and describes clearly the scope of interprofessional collaborations of data to improve the nursing outcomes related to glucose and metabolic imbalance. Moreover, it was also based on the evidence that excess body fat and high blood sugar also caused excessive cholesterol levels that resulted in metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is vital to discuss this condition through unbiased judgments and non-discriminatory settings to improve the quality outcomes (Borsches et al., 2019). It is vital to collaborate with cardiovascular physicians to reduce chest pain problems. Therefore, the concept map also provides communication in an interprofessional manner of the nursing team and other stakeholders to prevent conflicts.

A concept map supported by evidences helps health care practitioners to work cooperatively and assess health record & information. Because standard skilled nursing planning fail to recognize the totality of a patient’s needs, the creation of idea maps is a viable and approachable solution. Such concept map aids in the presentation of data, makes it simpler for patients to adhere to that while also sparing healthcare professionals funds and efforts (Wekker et al., 2020). The usage of limited writing in the idea map also helps to improve the accessibility of the conceptual framework.

The objective of blood glucose level and diabetes management shows that nurses should make efforts to help patients avoid acute decomposition. Moreover, they should ensure that there is no delay in the appearance of late disease complications and mortality. This will help patients to maintain a good life quality by controlling. Hypoglycemia happens when excessive insulin administration is done with diabetes mellitus. It can also become possible in a patient when they take 1 liter of alcohol daily or more. This can also happen due to lack of food and long fasting and starvation. A gastric bypass surgery maybe the solution after having low blood glucose levels. Moreover, more carbohydrate also produced more insulin that requires keeping a healthy weight.  Moreover, estrogen, beta blockers, corticosteroids, and thiazide can also promote hypoglycemia. Further, glucose that is rapidly absorbed is good for managing hypoglycemia.  Finally, the best treatment is D50 for this type of hypoglycemia with an individualized diet strategy.

Interprofessional Strategies for Achievement of Desired Outcomes

The nurses should collaborate to introduce and integrate pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions such as helping the patient to quit smoking in old age by providing counseling. The training related to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome can help the patient to gain more insights related to her condition and make lifestyle and behavioral changes to prevent the growth of serious heart and health issues (Myers et al., 2019). Since most of the disorders related to metabolic syndrome-related are to blood sugar levels, the patient will receive diabetes self-management training to reduce the risk factors. Moreover, the risk factors will also be identified such as age, ethnicity, obesity level, diabetes, and other syndromes and diseases like fatty liver disease. The patient is suggested at least 30 minutes of physical activity every single day and eats significant vegetables in a daily diet filled with proteins. Minting and healthy weight through walking and exercise and smoking cessation training can help nurses to achieve the desired outcomes. Hence, the professionals will have to collaborate to use the interprofessional strategies and help the patient to think cortically (Borsches et al., 2019).

According to the study by Sookoian & Pirola (2019), conventional nursing practices are no longer enough or effective in the absence of a robust concept map that allows them to better visualize their plans and strategies to combat patient care challenges and meet intervention goals. The plan is based on evidence-based practices which are already been tested and tried by many other medical healthcare professionals in the field. This means that the map gives a scope and a further way to record the interventions holistically to provide a systematic visualization of psychological and physiological aspects of nursing relationships and interactions using quality outcomes and analysis (Myers et al., 2019). This means that fewer text-based concepts can help nurses to improve patients’ conditions related to metabolic syndrome. 

Moreover, for improving menstrual cycle issues, following the UNICEF’s humanitarian program will help to build self-knowledge and skills of people to improve the materials and facilities for women and transgender people. The interventions include providing social support, knowledge and skills, services and facilities, and access to educational materials and supportive supplies.
