For this assessment you will select one of the mental health Sentinel U case study activities and create a concept map that outlines the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the mental health diagnosis from your chosen case study.
The key components of a mental health diagnosis concept map include the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the diagnosis. The concept map should outline the key concepts related to the diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions. The map should be organized using a nursing concept map template, such as spider maps, hierarchical maps, or flow charts, to organize the information. The concept map should be accurate, complete, well-organized, and use appropriate nursing concepts and terminology.
To complete your concept map, you may wish to follow these steps:
- Select one of the mental health Sentinel U scenarios: REPORT OF SCENARIO ATTACHED
- Ivy Jackson, 61 YO, Female, African American: My husband of 38 years told me a couple of months ago that he wanted a divorce and that he has had a girlfriend for the last couple of years. He blames me for it. He says that I’m not fun to be around anymore because in the last few years I don’t want to do stuff that we used to do. He left three weeks ago and since then I can’t stop crying. I feel like life is over for me. I wake up at all times of the night, crying, scared, and sometimes shaking. When I was around 40 years old. I felt less energetic and would have crying episodes. It didn’t last long, and I was able to get out of it and move on. However, six years ago after my youngest son left home to go to college, I got very sad and unmotivated. Didn’t want to do much of anything. Diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder
- Research the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment of the chosen mental health diagnosis within the Sentinel-U case study.
- Complete the case study simulation and download the simulation report showing the patient you selected and showing 100% complete.
- Create a concept map that outlines the key concepts related to the chosen diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions.
- You may wish to use the Concept Map Template [DOCX] (ATTACHED), but are also free to create your own.

- Make sure that the diagnosis is accurate and includes specific symptoms or criteria that support the diagnosis.
- Ensure you have downloaded the completed Sentinel-U simulation report showing the patient you selected.
- Concept Map: Create a concept map that outlines the key concepts related to the chosen diagnosis, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, medications, complications, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions.
- Make sure that your use of evidence to support the concept map is explicit and relevant, and that the relationships between the concepts are clearly defined.
- Organization: The concept map should be well-organized and easy to follow. The content should be presented in a logical and clear manner, with a clear purpose and goals.
- Also, you should make sure that your map is visually appealing and easy to read, incorporating appropriate use of colors, shapes, and symbols.
