Question

how does an exemplar differ from a concept in your nursing textbook?

Answer 1

A concept, or set of concepts, organizes information; therefore, it is easier to understand and remember information compared to a list of facts . Exemplars are used to provide specific contexts for a concept, helping students understand the concept more thoroughly

For nursing students  An exemplar is a story of a real patient that is told in order to illustrate an RN's practice/experience. The exemplar is written in the first person. It describes in detail a particular clinical situation that includes the nurse's thoughts, feeling, intentions actions, critical thinking and decision-making process.
