Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is intended to allow the student to show evidence of achievement of the following course objective:
Explain how the advanced practice nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregated/identified populations.
The Concept Map assignments are a progressive learning activity that builds with each assignment. Each week you will be taking steps to create a personal nursing concept map and relating it to a nursing theory of your choice. This will then be used, along with a systems theory, in your final paper assignment.
Some weekly assignments will ask you to submit a rough draft of your concept map work to show your progress and keep you on track. In week 9, you will post your concept map with a brief explanation to the discussion board for peer review. The final Concept Map will be submitted along with your Final Paper. The final paper is a combination of the concept map assignment you complete during the course.
