title: Clinical correlation map. A tool for linking theory and practice.
abstract: To facilitate application of theoretical knowledge to clinical practice, students develop a clinical correlation map that diagrams the relationships between each client's assessment and diagnostic data, medical treatment, human responses, and nursing diagnoses. In addition to the tool's benefits to the student, faculty can quickly assess the student's understanding of pathophysiology, diagnostic testing, treatment, nursing diagnoses, and interventions.
