Child's Functional Health Patterns Assessment

1. Understand the factors that may impact on the outcomes and life chances of children and young people:

During the toilet training process, a child must obtain body awareness and be able to associate bodily sensation to the result that follows, poop or pee. Then after he masters that skill he must acquire the certain skills that will allow him to picture what he wants to do (use the toilet), create a plan to get here, begin using it, and remain in place long enough to finish, which requires both memory and concentration (Wolraich 26). The next and probably most difficult readiness sign a parent must recognize before starting the toilet training process is emotional growth.

| * May be ready for toilet training * Will play happily alongside other children but doesn’t actually play with them (parallel play) * Can feed self with a spoon with no problems * Says ‘mine’ a lot when others try to play with his favourite toy * Takes exception if others get attention from his parent or carer

Assessment of a patient is a big process of decision making, it is about the collection of information which will contribute to an overall judgement of a person and the illness they may have. Lloyd (2010) states that assessment is one of the first steps which is needed to be done in the nursing process, it is a building block for a relationship and an ongoing process which lets health professionals gather the correct information to help them understand the problems and needs that the patient is going through. Most of the nursing assessment which are in use today will all have very similar aims. The difference is that how the assessment’s are carried out is where the differences come from.

A family health assessment is a process by which a nurse evaluates and describes the health status of a given family. It is a framework that helps to identify areas of potential risk for illness, opportunities for health education and actions needed to address these (World Health Organization, 2001). Specifics covered in a nurse led family assessment will include family history, perceptions about health, reports, health records, and any clinic test results. The nurse conducts an interview, compiles data and performs an appropriate

Assessment is the initial stage of the nursing process. Roper et al consistently use the term ‘assessing’ to signify that it is an on-going process, and highlights its continuity throughout the patient’s episode of care (Aggleton & Chalmers, 2000). It is divided into two stages to allow for a holistic representation of the patient to be established (Barrett et al, 2009). Effective assessment allows the prompt identification of any changes in a patient’s health status, and if necessary; allows any action to be carried out immediately supporting the delivery of safe, effective care DH (). The formulation of an accurate assessment is a fundamental skill for a student nurse as outlined by the NMC (2004), and so it is important that a holistic approach is adopted for this skill to be achieved. An holistic approach supports the consideration of……..needs,(THEME?) which

In this Assessment nursing course, one of the major things that is taught is the most important part of giving proper care to a patient. Correct patient assessment is needed before any nursing care plan or treatment can be implemented. This post-review of a person’s assessment will demonstrate the proper way to go about assessing a person’s health.

Having kids is a wonderful experience for parents from all around the world, which can leave some pleasant memories, but perhaps, one of the most unpleasant is changing dirty diapers. This is surely an activity that no parent enjoys, and finding a way to teach your son to use the potty can turn out to be quite difficult, especially if you don't have a strategy in mind.

List two potential problems that a nurse may discover in an assessment of each age group.

Gordon's Functional Health Patterns provide a useful structural guideline that help nurse or any health care provider to assess any family’s health status and develop a nursing diagnosis according to their need to improve their quality of life. Through each of these eleven patterns of health assessment, nurse can create a systemic approach and gather information which help them to understand a family values from each prospect of human health status. The health assessment begin with asking two or three open ended questions to a selected family. This family is a young

List two potential problems that a nurse may discover in an assessment of each age group.

If the toddler is able to explore with certain boundaries, the toddler will most likely develop a sense of self-sufficiency. On the other hand, if the parents are never satisfied with the toddler’s effort and are overprotective, the toddler may develop a lack of confidence and shame (Romero).

Indeed, a comprehensive assessment should be throughout a patient’s course of treatment in order for Nurse Practitioners to identify health information which is very important in order to provide optimal care for their patients. In regards of females age 13 -15 years old, a comprehensive assessment help Nurse Practitioners to use their assessment as a format to organize their histories which are relevant to the patients present, past and family health. By using this approach for this age group will help Nurse Practitioners to establish and strengthen rapport with the patients. Also with this process, patients who are non-adherence will be able to safely make clinical decision due to clinician –patient relationship.

Junk food, junk food, junk food is around all corners of schools. Chocolate, cookies, soda, potato chips, and Sour Strings may sound delectable to some people, but are they nutritious? Some people wonder if there should be a change. Encouraging exceptional nutrition in schools is essential by reasons of students will consume foods that are better for them, schools will pay less for meals, and fewer students would go hungry.

Erikson’s also believe that toilet training take place during this stage of child development. ; during this
