### Introduction
The Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (NCJMM) provides nursing students different ways to develop care plans to reinforce clinical thinking and clinical reasoning that will prepare them to apply concepts from their didactic and lab courses in the clinical setting. In this course you will select one of the patients you cared for in your clinical intensive and complete the clinical judgement concept map for your performance assessment using the “Concept Map Template” in the Web Links section. You will need to collect information during your clinical intensive using the “NCJMMT Template” in the Web Links section. Do not include patient identifiers. During your clinical intensive, your clinical instructor will serve as a resource to guide you as you complete this assignment.
### Requirements
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may
_not_ be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
Concept Map:
Create a concept map using the “Concept Map Template” in the Web Links section below. Please see “Concept Map Directions” in the Web Links section below for further detail. There is also an example provided in the Web Links section below, titled “Concept Map Example,” that you can use for reference. Note: Do NOT include patient identifiers.
A. In the box labeled “Disease Process/Pathophysiology/Risk Factors,” describe the pathophysiology related to a disease process, disorder, or injury. Include the admitting diagnosis as well as the causes and risk factors for the disease process.
B. In the box labeled “Recognizing Cues,” identify at least 4 critical cues that are relevant to the patient’s current condition. Describe what the patient looks like, their complaints, vital signs, and anything in their medical history that would indicate this could be a problem.
C. Analyze the 4 critical cues from B by making 3 supporting connections between the cues and the patient’s clinical condition. Put this information in the top box labeled “Supporting,” under “Analyzing Cues/Concerns”.
1. Identify 2 of the critical cues that are most concerning in regard to the patient’s overall health outcome. Put this information in the bottom box labeled “Concerning,” under “Analyzing Cues/Concerns”.
D. In the box labeled “Prioritizing Hypotheses,” determine 3 hypotheses critical to positive patient outcomes, listing them in order of priority. Utilize words such as “urgency,” “likelihood,” “risk,” “difficulty,” “time,” and “constraints”.
E. In the box labeled “Generated Solutions,” develop 4 solutions with appropriate interventions that will positively impact patient outcome and are appropriate to the care of the patient. Use the hypotheses from D to define a set of interventions for the expected solutions.
F. In the box labeled “Take Actions,” describe how each of the 4 solutions from E will be prioritized and implemented into the patient’s plan of care. You will have one action for each solution, and it must be the most important action for each solution.
G. In the box labeled “Evaluations Outcomes,” describe how the 4 solutions from E were effective or ineffective in improving patient outcome or care. You should have four evaluations, one for each desired solution.
H. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

### Introduction
The Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (NCJMM) provides nursing students different ways to develop care plans to reinforce clinical thinking and clinical reasoning that will prepare them to apply concepts from their didactic and lab courses in the clinical setting. In this course you will select one of the patients you cared for in your clinical intensive and complete the clinical judgement concept map for your performance assessment using the “Concept Map Template” in the Web Links section. You will need to collect information during your clinical intensive using the “NCJMMT Template” in the Web Links section. Do not include patient identifiers. During your clinical intensive, your clinical instructor will serve as a resource to guide you as you complete this assignment.
### Requirements
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may
_not_ be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
Concept Map:
Create a concept map using the “Concept Map Template” in the Web Links section below. Please see “Concept Map Directions” in the Web Links section below for further detail. There is also an example provided in the Web Links section below, titled “Concept Map Example,” that you can use for reference. Note: Do NOT include patient identifiers.
A. In the box labeled “Disease Process/Pathophysiology/Risk Factors,” describe the pathophysiology related to a disease process, disorder, or injury. Include the admitting diagnosis as well as the causes and risk factors for the disease process.
B. In the box labeled “Recognizing Cues,” identify at least 4 critical cues that are relevant to the patient’s current condition. Describe what the patient looks like, their complaints, vital signs, and anything in their medical history that would indicate this could be a problem.
C. Analyze the 4 critical cues from B by making 3 supporting connections between the cues and the patient’s clinical condition. Put this information in the top box labeled “Supporting,” under “Analyzing Cues/Concerns”.
1. Identify 2 of the critical cues that are most concerning in regard to the patient’s overall health outcome. Put this information in the bottom box labeled “Concerning,” under “Analyzing Cues/Concerns”.
D. In the box labeled “Prioritizing Hypotheses,” determine 3 hypotheses critical to positive patient outcomes, listing them in order of priority. Utilize words such as “urgency,” “likelihood,” “risk,” “difficulty,” “time,” and “constraints”.
E. In the box labeled “Generated Solutions,” develop 4 solutions with appropriate interventions that will positively impact patient outcome and are appropriate to the care of the patient. Use the hypotheses from D to define a set of interventions for the expected solutions.
F. In the box labeled “Take Actions,” describe how each of the 4 solutions from E will be prioritized and implemented into the patient’s plan of care. You will have one action for each solution, and it must be the most important action for each solution.
G. In the box labeled “Evaluations Outcomes,” describe how the 4 solutions from E were effective or ineffective in improving patient outcome or care. You should have four evaluations, one for each desired solution.
H. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
