2. Discuss nursing strategies and evidence-based rationales to manage a child with a severe acute exacerbation of asthma. (Learning outcome 4)
3. Describe the nursing role and responsibilities in the use of pharmacological interventions related to a severe acute exacerbation of asthma. (Learning outcome 3)

Concept map.
? The concept map must be computer generated.
? When researching the topic, use the pathophysiology template that is on the unit vUWS site to assist you in organising your information. The template will also assist in identifying key concepts and their relationships.
? Concept boxes should have titles with relevant content summarised within the box.
? The summarised content may be in point format and size 10 font (Arial or Times New Roman) may be used on the concept map.
? Concept boxes must be linked using lines and linking words/phrases to demonstrate logical relationships between concepts.
? For conciseness, numbers may be used to replace traditional APA referencing within concept boxes. If you use numbers, you must include a reference list in numerical order, corresponding to your references immediately after the concept map.
? Critical thinking and creativity are essential components of the concept map. The map design needs to be visually stimulating.
