Select a family to complete a family health assessment. (The family cannot be your own.)
Before interviewing the family, develop three -ended, family-focused questions for each of the following health patterns:
Values, health perception
Nutrition
Sleep/Rest
Elimination
Activity/Exercise
Cognitive
Sensory-Perception
Self-Perception
Role Relationship
Sexuality
Coping
NOTE: Your list of questions must be submitted with your assignment as an attachment.
After interviewing the family, compile the data and analyze the responses.
In 1,000-1,250 words, summarize the findings for each functional health pattern for the family you have selected.
Identify two or more wellness nursing diagnoses based on your family assessment. Wellness and family nursing diagnoses are different than standard nursing diagnoses. A
list of wellness and family nursing diagnoses, from J. R. Weber’s Nurses’ Handbook of Health Assessment (5th ed.), can be found at the following link:
