A concept map showing the interrelationship between functional health patterns and functional, potentially dysfunctional

Full Answer Section

     

• Sleep-Rest: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to sleep patterns and quality (e.g., adequate sleep hygiene, relaxation techniques).
• Cognitive-Perceptual: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to thinking, learning, and perception (e.g., problem-solving skills, stress management).
• Self-Perception-Self-Concept: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to self-esteem and body image (e.g., positive self-talk, healthy body acceptance).
• Role-Relationship: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to social interactions and fulfilling roles (e.g., healthy communication, maintaining supportive relationships).
• Sexuality-Reproductive: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to sexual health and reproduction (e.g., safe sex practices, responsible family planning).
• Coping-Stress Tolerance: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to managing stress and coping with challenges (e.g., healthy coping mechanisms, seeking support).

Functional Behaviors (Yellow Stars):

• Responsible decision-making (Connected with a dashed green line to multiple Functional Health Patterns)
• Positive self-care (Connected with a dashed green line to multiple Functional Health Patterns)
• Healthy coping skills (Connected with a dashed green line to Coping-Stress Tolerance)
• Effective communication (Connected with a dashed green line to Role-Relationship)

Potentially Dysfunctional Behaviors (Orange Triangles):

• Skipping meals (Connected with a dashed orange line to Nutritional-Metabolic)
• Excessive caffeine intake (Connected with a dashed orange line to Nutritional-Metabolic and Sleep-Rest)
• Lack of physical activity (Connected with a dashed orange line to Activity-Exercise)
• Poor sleep hygiene (Connected with a dashed orange line to Sleep-Rest)
• Negative self-talk (Connected with a dashed orange line to Self-Perception-Self-Concept)
• Social isolation (Connected with a dashed orange line to Role-Relationship)

Actually Dysfunctional Behaviors (Red Squares):

• Substance abuse (Connected with a solid red line to multiple Functional Health Patterns)
• Self-harm (Connected with a solid red line to Coping-Stress Tolerance)
• Abusive relationships (Connected with a solid red line to Role-Relationship)
• Eating disorders (Connected with a solid red line to Nutritional-Metabolic)

Overall Design:

• The concept map uses a central green circle representing the individual.
• Blue rectangles represent functional health patterns radiating outwards, connected to the individual with solid green lines.
• Yellow stars represent functional behaviors, connected with dashed green lines to relevant health patterns.
• Orange triangles represent potentially dysfunctional behaviors, connected with dashed orange lines to relevant health patterns.
• Red squares represent actually dysfunctional behaviors, connected with solid red lines to relevant health patterns.
• Lines and color variations visually depict the positive (green) to potentially negative (orange) to negative (red) spectrum of behaviors within each health pattern.

This concept map demonstrates the interconnectedness between functional health patterns and individual behaviors. It highlights the importance of promoting healthy behaviors to maintain well-being and the potential consequences of engaging in dysfunctional behaviors.  

Sample Answer

     

Center (Green Circle): Individual

Functional Health Patterns (Blue Rectangles):

• Health Perception-Health Management: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors that promote health and well-being (e.g., regular checkups, healthy diet, exercise).
• Nutritional-Metabolic: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to food intake and metabolism (e.g., balanced diet, portion control).
• Elimination: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to waste elimination (e.g., regular bowel movements, adequate hydration).
• Activity-Exercise: (Connected with a solid green line to Individual) - Behaviors related to physical activity and exercise (e.g., regular exercise program, active lifestyle).
