Develop a concept map for Mr. Rivera. Consider the patients’ Ethnic background (he and his family are from Mexico) and family dynamics.

One possible concept map for Mr. Rivera could include nodes such as: ethnicity (Mexican), family dynamics (nuclear family with 3 children, ages 5-13), financial status (low income family), health issues/concerns (diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity). Each of these topics can be further broken down into additional nodes including cultural norms that may influence healthcare decisions, support systems available to the family, access to quality healthcare services or food resources in their area, and educational materials regarding healthy lifestyle practices.

All of these concepts would then be connected by arrows representing relationships between each node such as “cultural beliefs affecting healthcare decision” being linked to “ethnicity” or “access to healthy foods” being connected to “financial status”. By creating this type of visual representation it helps nurses better understand how all of these factors may impact a patient and their families overall health outcomes so that they can craft strategies most suited for their unique situation.

Ultimately by having a deeper understanding of the various components at play when treating someone from a different ethnic background along with any other relevant aspects like family dynamics nurses will be able to provide more effective care while also helping ensure positive results regardless of one’s individual circumstances.
