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.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course
competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design patient-centered, evidence-based, advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality
patient outcomes.
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.
Justify the value and relevance of the evidence used as the basis for a concept map.
Competency 4: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional care systems in achieving desired
health care improvement outcomes.
Analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to achievement of desired
outcomes.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent
with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
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.

Context
The purpose of a concept map is to visualize connections between ideas, connect new ideas to previous ideas,
and to organize ideas logically. Concept maps can be an extremely useful tool to help organize and plan care
decisions. This is especially true in the biopsychosocial model of health, which takes into account factors
beyond just the biochemical aspects of health. By utilizing a concept map, a nurse can simplify the connection
between disease pathways, drug interactions, and symptoms, as well as between emotional, personality,
cultural, and socioeconomic considerations that impact health.

you, or one of the cases presented in the Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media simulation.
What is the primary condition, disease, or disorder affecting the patient?
What types of experience have you had working with patients with this condition, disease, or disorder?
How does this condition, disease, or disorder typically present?
