Description
- Biopsychosocial Concepts for Advanced Nursing Practice 1
- 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.
- Introduction
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.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.Preparation
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.The assessment will be based on the case of a specific patient with a specific condition, disease, or disorder. Think about an experience you have had treating a patient with a condition, disease, or disorder that interests 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?
- What are the recommended treatment options?
- What, if any, characteristics of an individual patient should be kept in mind when determining a course of treatment.
- How have you used concept maps to help plan and organize care?
- What are the advantages of concept maps, from your point of view?
- How could concept maps be more useful?
- How can interprofessional communication and collaboration strategies assist in driving patient safety, efficiency, and quality outcomes with regard to specific clinical and biopsychosocial considerations?
- What interprofessional strategies do you recommend health care providers take in order to meet patient-centered safety and outcome goals?
- Scenario
You have already learned about evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives in previous courses. You will use this information to guide your assessments, while also implementing new concepts introduced in this course. For this assessment, you will develop a concept map and provide supporting evidence and explanations. You may use the case studies presented in the Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, a case study from the literature or your practice that is relevant to the list of conditions below, or another relevant case study you have developed. This case study will provide you with the context for creating your concept map. You may also use the practice context from the case study or extrapolate the case study information and data into your own practice setting. Think carefully when you are selecting the case study for this assessment, as you may choose to build upon it for the second assessment as well.Some example conditions, diseases and disorders that are relevant to metabolic balance and glucose regulation considerations are: - Cancer.
- Diabetes (type 2).
- HIV/AIDS.
- Hyperthyroidism.
- Hypothyroidism.
- Metabolic syndrome.
- Obesity.
- Polycycstic ovary syndrome.
- Prediabetes.
- Pregnancy.
- Instructions
Develop a concept map and a short narrative that supports and further explains how the concept map is constructed. You may choose to use the Concept Map Template as a starting point for your concept map, but are not required to do so. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your evidence-based plan addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Concept Map scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Concept Map document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.Part 1: Concept Map

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Concept Map
This paper presents an evidence-based concept map of a patient with the symptoms of
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The concept map is a tool for organizing concepts according
to the relationships they have to each other. In the concept map provided, three main diagnoses
are presented. Anxiety is presented as the most important diagnosis because of the potential
impact of the diagnosis on the patient’s mental health. Disturbed body image is captured due to
weight changes and hormonal effects on physiological symptoms such as hair on the chin and
acne. Sleep and rest are also captured since the diagnosis presents with interruptions in sleep
patterns. This narrative justifies the evidence used and presents the need for interprofessional
collaboration in implementing the care plan.
Additional Evidence
Carrie Alves is a 31-year-old female presenting with the main chief complaint of
irregular menstrual cycle for the last six months. Subjective and objective data has been used in
the concept map to determine appropriate interventions and expected outcomes. Irregular menses
is a common symptom of PCOS often due to hormonal changes. Additionally, hair growing in
the chin is known as hirsutism, and is a symptom of PCOS (Kim et al., 2021). Weight gain is due
to hormonal changes and it is also a common symptom. The patient experiences vivid dreams
which awaken her and interrupt her sleep patterns. These dreams are a sign of anxiety related to
the patient’s medical condition. The evidence justifies the PCOS medical diagnosis and the
nursing diagnosis address the biopsychosocial symptoms and potential complications of the
medical diagnosis.
4
Value and Relevance of Evidence
The evidence included in the concept map is valuable and relevant to the case study. The
presenting symptoms and complications are consistent with PCOS diagnosis and hence the
evidence used for interventions is justified (Wright et al., 2020). Moreover, anxiety has been
identified as a major issue among women with reproductive system conditions as has been
proved for weight gain in PCOS (Woodward et al., 2020). The three articles are peer-reviewed
journal articles on the specific symptoms of PCOS and they are credible and current articles as
well. The evidence provided also presents the rationale for collaborative interventions.
Biopsychosocial care for patients requires collaborative approaches among professionals and the
evidence used justifies the role of mental health and sports science professionals in addressing
PCOS symptoms. Therefore, the evidence is not only valuable and relevant to the case scenario
but also supportive of interprofessional collaboration in healthcare.
Interprofessional Strategies
The care plan presented integrates the role of a sleep therapist, counselor, and physical
fitness professional in addressing nursing diagnoses. Mutual feedback is needed in
interprofessional collaboration to ensure effective communication and care coordination (Wei et
al., 2020). The nurse should communicate effectively with the other professionals to ensure
mutual feedback and ongoing care coordination. This strategy is necessary for the current
condition because medical diagnoses outcomes may affect the presenting symptoms and hence
determine the necessary interventions. The expected outcomes of the intervention include
reduced anxiety, better sleeping patterns, and achievement of healthy weight. While the provider
focuses on the PCOS diagnosis, the nurse and interprofessional team focus on biopsychosocial
aspects of patient care and symptoms.
5
Conclusion
PCOS medical diagnosis is associated with significant nursing diagnoses due to adverse
symptoms identified. The patient presents with anxiety, weight gain, and sleep interruptions due
to PCOS and these diagnoses can be addressed using a biopsychosocial approach. Valuable and
relevant evidence has been captured in the concept map to justify interventions and promote
healthy living. The patient is expected to effectively manage her health condition through the
assistance of the nurse and the interprofessional team.
