Once you have selected your concept, you will identify a patient case to which you can apply your chosen concept. You may use a current patient, such as from an on-ground DFC, or a patient situation from a previous encounter. If you do not have access to a current/live patient experience that can be utilized for this assignment, you may access a simulated patient experience from a previous VCBC.
The patient you choose might have multiple co-morbidities. Build your concept map around the concept you chose; this might not necessarily be the patient’s priority concern. For example, you chose the concept of ‘Infection’ from your ‘Weak Performance Areas’ on the HESI Dashboard. Your patient might have co-morbidities related to Perfusion and Gas Exchange which will most often be a higher priority than ‘Infection’. However, to increase your knowledge about ‘Infection’, complete you map according to cues (signs and symptoms) and appropriate interventions related to ‘Infection’. Your Concepts for Nursing Practice eBook can serve as a resource for information regarding interrelated concepts.
