THINK LIKE A NURSE! Think Out Loud
Cognitive Maps • Graphic or pictorial arrangements of related key concepts • Helps organize knowledge in a format that is compatible with the way we create meaning • Personal expression of meaning for the subject matter • Tool to teach students how to think
Concept Maps • Aids in clarifying a small number of key ideas – not all inclusive • Encourages reflective thinking • Anchoring of new ideas or concepts with previously acquired knowledge creates meaningful learning and leads to sound decision-making
Concept Maps • Presents a clear picture of what the student is thinking • Provides a general road map for reading; brings it to life • Missing linkages indicate need for more information • Pre-mapping for clinical helps provide direction
Concept Maps • Assists in organizing data • Can improve use of language • Improves communication of ideas
Concept Maps • Specific structure is context – dependent • No right or wrong - Individual • Instructor needs to encourage creativity • Good for small groups ex. post-conference
Concept Maps • Concepts are organized with the most general or most important concepts at the top or center of the map. Progressively more specific or less important concepts are placed under the more inclusive concepts. • ID relevant concepts and develop a hierarchical structure choose links in ways to show valid relationships. • Structure can vary
Case Study • P.J. is an 81 year old widowed male. • c/o sore right foot, trouble walking for “few years”, worse in the last month. • Hx: Type 2 DM, HTN, diabetic neuropathy, former smoker
3 children, all live out of state. • c/o recent poor appetite. • 2 dime sized ulcers on right foot, yellow, black toes. + sensation to bilateral feet.
Assessment • Denies severe pain, 2/10 at toes. • BP 180/92, HR 88 and regular, RR 20 and unlabored, T 36.7 • S1, S2. • DP/PT pulse 1+ left, not able to doppler or palpate on right.
Bilateral feet cool, R>L • Cap refill R > 3 sec., L = 3 sec. • Scattered expiratory wheezes RUL, RA, SpO2 = 95%. • AAOX3, pleasant, conversant. • c/o hunger, “haven’t eaten yet today” (time is now 6:10pm) • Denies bowel/bladder problems.
