R.K. is a 72-year-old white man who was admitted with a massive stroke after collapsing on the street. He is unresponsive, even to painful stimuli. He has an oral endotracheal (ET) tube in place and is receiving mechanical ventilation (assist-control mode, FIO2 70%, VT 700mL, respiratory rate 16 breaths/min, PEEP 5 cm H2O). His chest x-ray revealed right lower lung consolidation. A subclavian central line was placed to monitor CVP and administer fluids. IV antibiotics have been started. His cardiac rhythm on admission was atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. He is receiving IV diltiazem (Cardizem) and his ventricular response has slowed to 84 bpm. His temperature is elevated despite receiving enteral feeding at 25mL/hr via small-bore nasogastric feeding tube and has an external condom catheter for urinary drainage.

Since stroke is the disease, how to make a stroke concept map while relating the concept map to R.K.'s condition?
