About
This Pt. Care Plan - Acute Ischemic Heart Disease mind map template provides a structured framework for nursing care planning, covering 100 nodes across 9 major branches including Patient Information, Nursing Diagnosis, Collaborative Problems, Expected S/S, Nursing Interventions/orders/actions, and Desired outcomes. Designed for nursing students and clinicians, it uses a patient case (45-year-old male with elevated BP, BMI 27, and family history) to illustrate evidence-based interventions. Key branches include 'Risk for decreased cardiac output related to increased vascular resistance' and 'Educate patient on low salt and low fat diet'. The template references Lewis & Dirksen's Medical Surgical Nursing and Nurse Labs care plans, making it a practical tool for academic and clinical settings.
