As noted in
the article and the PowerPoint presentation, there are numerous reasons
for using concept mapping in the clinical nursing setting. Some of the
most revelent benefits of concept mapping include:
1. Concept
mapping improves a nurse's ability to organize
his/her bank of knowledge for application
in the nursing profession.
2. Concept
mapping allows the nurse to assimilate previously
learned knowledge with newly acquired knowledge.
3. Concept
mapping increases a nurse's critical thinking
and clinical reasoning skills.
4. A concept map is a visual aid it may increase
a nurse's retention of knowledge.
5. Concept
mapping links nursing theory with nursing
practice.
6. Concept
mapping allows the nurse to identify what he/she knows about the client
and also to identify what he/she must learn
to
care for this client.
