My Personal Health Assessment

While completing these assessments on myself, my overall wellness score rated very well. My highest strategic area was intellectual (mental). I am an avid organizer and this allowed me to score the best in this area. I have close relationships with girlfriends and this allows me to utilize them as my counselor as needed. I also have a great relationship with my husband and communicating with him on a daily basis allows me relieve some of the stress from the day. I believe laughter is the most important gesture of emotion. Laughter is good for the soul, and I tend to laugh often each

I have to agree my assessment results are congruent with my personality. As an extravert, I am extremely talkative and social. I enjoy interacting with individuals on a daily basis and being able to communicate through speech. It was no surprise when I saw my extraversion score at a high level. I tend to be a very agreeable person. I am always helping others and putting their needs before my own. Sympathy and caring are personality traits learned over the last few years in my life. I am an extremely conscientious person, who is always controlling my surrounding environments. I rely heavily on myself and am determined to achieve my life goals. I figured my neuroticism score would be high, since I am filled with anxiety, depression, and fear. My ability to adjust to change is not the greatest, which affects my emotional stability. The

I'm going to try a weekly planner for writing down what is due and when then checking off the completed assignments.

It can sometimes be too late. I have learned over some years by watching those that mean a lot to me let their lives become of nothing because they do not worry about their physical appearance or the foods that they eat, and even though you can give them all the advice to try and persuade them they are determined to do what they feel and what they want to do.

A comprehensive family assessment provides a foundation to promote family health (Edelman & Mandle, 2011). 1987 Marjorie Gordon purposed 11 functional health patterns to use for guidance in order to facilitate nurses to have a frame work for the family assessment in. Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns help organizes basic family assessment information. This standardized format will guide nurses to complete the family assessment using system approaches, which will identify a patient’s

Using Gordon’s functional health patterns to assess a family will guide the nurse in developing a comprehensive nursing assessment that is holistic in nature. Gordon’s functional health patterns are founded on 11 principles that are incorporated within the nursing practice. These 11 principles serve as a framework for a thorough nursing assessment in which to build a holistic and individual family care plan (Grand Canyon University, 2011). The author has developed family-focused questions for each of the 11 principles and utilized these questions as a tool to assess her own family. This paper will summarize the family assessment that was performed by the author and discuss two wellness nursing diagnoses that

The first assessment was very informative for me because I honestly don't think about the health aspects of my life as much as I should. Their first health risk I took away from the assessment was that I do not incorporate enough fruits and vegetables in my diet. The second health risk also had to do my diet thing that I needed to include more dairy products like milk and things like that. The third health risk had to do with stress management and lacking some confidence when I have a ton of things to do.

Overall, I was not surprised that my scores varied depending upon the specific category. I grew up in a household that mainly revolved around school and physically activities including sports so I was expecting to score higher on these two categories. This survey accurately represents what aspects of health that I focus on the most. I was surprised to see that my social health was the highest category because I am usually a quiet person but I have tried to talk more with people since coming to college. My family was never very spiritual or religious so I was expecting my spiritual health score to be lower than all the other categories. This survey is an accurate representation of my overall wellness because the scores matched my expectations.

This report will discuss the health assessment of a client who presented to my PEP facility, Clinic 275. Clinic 275 is a confidential and complimentary walk-in sexual health service which provides medical consultation/advice, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (SA Health 2016a). Ultimately, this paper will illustrate how an ongoing health assessment, history taking, provision of client education and care options of certain STIs are fundamental to guiding the planning, implementation and evaluation of care for specific people. All information regarding the client, who will be referred to as R, was permitted for use by the facility and will maintain confidentiality in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of South Australia (2015, p.7; Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia 2016).

Throughout this complete health assessment, I will approach my patient, a 49 years old, female, married patient, and perform a head to toe examination. Starting with the gathering of information, I will start with biographic data, reason for seeking care, present illness, past health history, family history, functional assessment, perception of health, head to toe examination, and baseline measurements. The subjective data will be collected first, where the patient will provide necessary information about every organ system for further examination while the objective data will be amassed in every system based on my findings. This assignment serves as an opportunity to establish a nurse-client interpersonal relationship that

Health is not only your physical health, but it’s also about your mind and decision of how handle things. As I get older, I could feel my body getting weak. I realized that I must change my life style and start exercising every day to maintain my health from further worsening. Through this Behavior Change Project in Health, I decided to get back in shape and regain my health by slightly changing my daily routine.
