Dq Week 1 Health Assessment

 

                        Discussion: Building a Health History

   

Effective communication is vital to constructing  an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness  is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and  environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware  of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly.  Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients,  but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information  needed to assess your patients’ health risks.

For this Discussion, you will take on the role  of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new  patient assigned by your Instructor.

 

                                               To prepare: 

 By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. (new patient profile):  14-year-old biracial male living with his grandmother in a high-density public housing complex 

 

How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?

How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?

What  risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each  patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or  her health risks?

Identify  any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age,  gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into  consideration.

Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.
 

Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.

Post a summary of the interview and a  description of the communication techniques you would use with your  assigned patient. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify  the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be  applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted  questions you would ask the patient.

Based on your specialty role option (i.e., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Nurse Informaticist, Nurse Administrator), identify a potential problem (topic) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. Begin by reading the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) position statement on nursing research (Nursing Research).

Next explore South’s Online Library and conduct a search to locate a minimum of three nursing research articles that have addressed the problem you have identified. The literature may not be older than 5 years. After reading the literature respond to the following:

  1. Note your role specialization and briefly describe the problem you are interested in researching and why this is of interest to you.
  2. Discuss your library search strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed. Focus your discussion on the “problem” and how the literature you identified provides evidence of the existence of the problem.
  3. Include in your discussion a potential innovation that you might consider as a solution to the problem identified.
  4. Include citations/references in APA style format, using citations where appropriate.
