HELP! Concept map...DUE MONDAY!

Ok, so i have a "concept map" due on monday for one aspect of nursing care for a patient. The directions state as follows: "choose as the 'center' one important aspect of nursing care specific for your patient. Create your map surrounding this concept incorporating developmental aspects appropriate for the age of your patient. Do not use your patient's medical diagnosis or re-create your entire nursing care plan for the child into this format."

I have chosen overcoming oral aversion in 6mo pt with NGT & Trach. I'm not exactly sure how to begin to approach this... I'm not sure what the instructions mean for "developmental aspects" either...I get the whole Trust v. mistrust is the developmental task according to Erikson but, I'm very confused on how to go about doing this. Any help? PLEASE!! Maybe a few ideas to get past oral aversions for those of you who may have experience with this would be great..or maybe just some ideas on how to get started with this assignment would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks sooooo much!!!

i read the instruction over a few times and thought about them for a while.

i think your idea to focus on oral aversion in 6mo pt with ngt & trach is exactly what the instructor doesn't want you to do. an ngt and trach is not a normal thing for a child to have. they are medical treatments. i would focus on things that have to do with development of the baby's trust in others (erickson's trust vs. mistrust stage in an infant). this would be done by making sure that they are comfortable and be attended to when they cry, that they are dry, etc. because they are important to their development of trust for their age but have nothing to do with their medical condition. i think that is what the instructor is getting at. i may not be getting the interventions exactly right because i am rusty on erickson, but i am sure you have a textbook to consult on his stages.
