Concept Maps
As you learned in Unit 1, a concept map is a visual tool that assists you with organizing and prioritizing care and interventions. The concept maps you create for Assignments 1 and 2 should demonstrate an understanding of the acute or chronic condition(s) experienced by the person featured in each case by illustrating links and cross links between different relevant concepts described in the case study. Please refer to the specific directions in Unit 4 and Unit 8 regarding the development of the concept map for each patient Case Scenario. It is preferable that you create the concept map in a word document to ensure clarity and legibility. To avoid formatting issues, you may choose to save your concept map as a .pdf file and submit as a separate file from your case analysis discussion. If creation of the concept map on the computer is an exceptional challenge, then connect with your course tutor about other ways you may submit the concept map diagram. Some students have created the concept map on paper and then simply submitted a photo. The main guiding principle is that your concept map is legible for the tutor to review and mark.
Below is the marking guide with clear indications of the criteria for the concept map. As you create your concept maps, reflect back on the criteria to ensure they are addressed and that your map presents a holistic picture of the patient. The two concept maps in the course should demonstrate cognitive progression. Submit the second concept map only after you have received a mark and feedback on your first concept map. This is to allow you to apply the feedback to the second concept map as a demonstration of cognitive progression.
