Cardiomyopathy and a pacemaker

The patient is a 30 year old male with Cardiomyopathy and a pacemaker. He had a cardiac arrest, and is now hospitalized on a ventilator. He had parked his car, and entered a restaurant when the cardiac arrest occurred. The restaurant owner called 911 in time for the patient to be resuscitated and transported to the hospital. The patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for further treatment. After one week on the ventilator, a tracheostomy was performed. He is receiving IV conscious sedation medication, so that he will not remember the trauma of his experience. His intravenous fluids help with hydration. A nasogastric tube was inserted for sustenance. The patient has a mother and a brother. Use the group project rubic to develop your project on therapeutic communication with the unresponsive patient and his family. Please provide a concept map?
