Module 03 Written Assignment – Health History
Conduct a health history on a family member or friend. Be sure they give you permission. Using the interviewing techniques learned in Module 2, gather the following information. Use your textbook as your guide.
- Present Health
- Past Health
- Family History
While this is only a partial health history, summarize in 3 -5 pages the information you gathered. Also, answer the following questions:
- Was the person willing to share the information? If they were not, what did you do to encourage them?
- Was there any part of the interview that was more challenging? If so, what part and how did you deal with it?
- How comfortable were you taking a health history?
- What interviewing techniques did you use? Were there any that were difficult and if so, how did you overcome the difficulty?
- Now that you have taken a health history discuss how this information can assist the nurse in determining the health status of a client.
Your assignment must have accurate spelling and grammar.
Structure your report in such a way that it would be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need. Be sure to cite relevant local, state, or federal health care laws or policies when evaluating metric performance against prescribed benchmarks. Cite an additional 2–4 credible sources to support your analysis and evaluation of the challenges in meeting the benchmarks, the potential for performance improvement, and your advocacy for ethical action.
Note: The tasks outlined below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring guide.
In your report, be sure to:
· Evaluate dashboard metrics against the benchmarks set by local, state, or federal health care laws or policies.
. Which metrics are below the mandated benchmarks in the organization? Evaluate weaknesses within the entire set of benchmarks.
. What are the local, state, or federal health care laws or policies that set these benchmarks?
· Analyze challenges that meeting prescribed benchmarks can pose for the organization or for an interprofessional team.
. What are the specific challenges or opportunities that the organization or interprofessional team might have in meeting the benchmarks? For example, consider:
. The strategic direction of the organization.
. The organization’s mission.
