Which of the following statements made by the nurse reflects the best understanding of the use-fulness of a concept map to client care?
 
  1. Concept maps help me see the whole client, not just individual health problems.
  2. Concept maps can be easily edited to reflect a client's ever changing health needs.
  3. I need help organizing my assessment data and concept mapping is really good for that.
  4. I like concept mapping because it helps me focus on how the disease processes affect the client.

ANS: 1
The advantage of a concept map is its central focus on the client rather than the client's disease or health alteration, thus concept maps help me see the whole client, not just individual health problems is the correct answer.
