This document is a completed assignment worksheet for Nightingale College’s Concepts of Nursing III (BSN 346) course, specifically focused on direct-focused care and concept mapping. It’s designed for students to apply the nursing process to a patient case.
This assignment matters for students learning to critically think through patient scenarios and organize their clinical reasoning. It’s used as a formative assessment to demonstrate understanding of assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation within the context of a specific patient presentation – a 7-year-old with a moderate asthma exacerbation.
This completed example *does not* substitute for completing the assignment independently or understanding the underlying concepts. It serves as an illustration of how to *format* responses, not a model for clinical judgment.
This document provides a fully completed concept map worksheet, including sections for recognizing cues (assessment data), analyzing cues (potential conditions), prioritizing hypotheses, planning interventions, implementing care, and evaluating outcomes. It also includes a specific patient case scenario and a pre-filled “Impaired Gas Exchange” concept map template. This preview *does not* include the student’s original thought process or the grading rubric.
