Description

"The purpose of this book is to teach nursing students how to use concept mapping theory to develop a concept care map, which is to be used in the direct care of patients and to communicate with members of the health-care team. Concept mapping is a diagrammatic teaching and learning strategy that allows students and faculty to visualize interrelationships between medical diagnoses, nursing diagnoses, assessment data, and treatments. Concept care maps result in a clear mental model of the patient health state and situation. Students must learn to share relevant information with the specific aim of creating a shared mental model with members of the health-care team to prevent errors that result in patient injuries and death"--Provided by publisher.
