Short-Form 36 Health Assessment

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.

The ratings for this scale vary from no pain, a zero, to the worst pain one could possibly endure, a ten ('Misha' Backonja & Farrar, 2015).  This type of tool used for measuring pain is considered a self-assessment.  Meaning, the individual rates his/her pain on the provided scale.  All individuals who have received medical treatment, whether for a serious injury or a yearly physical, has been asked, “What would you rate your pain today, on a scale of one to ten?”.  This pain assessment tool is considered a fully ordered variable due to the individual having a wide range to rate his/her

The message that my total health assessment articulates about my current state of health is that although my lifestyle choices are fairly ideal, there is always room for improvement. The categories that pertain to the physical health component of wellness, include eating habits, physical activity, tobacco/drug/alcohol use, sleep, and safety. All of these categories are applicable to the physical health aspect of wellness, because they all have a great impact in the way your body physically feels and looks, depending on the choices you choose to make, which can either be positive or negative. In addition, the categories that affect the mental health component of wellness, include attitudes towards life, spiritual connectivity, stress management,

Chronic neck pain is common, costly, and a leading cause of disability. Literature suggests that ascending pain pathways (i.e. pain pressure threshold or PPT) and/or descending pain pathways (i.e. CPM) may be impaired in those with chronic pain [please see Appendix for illustration of ascending and descending pain pathways]. Spinal mobilization (SM), a form of MT, is a common treatment that has been effective in relieving neck pain according to Cochrane Review (Gross et al 2015). A recent systematic review (Coronado et al 2015) concluded that although the pain relief from MT seems to improve PPT; the pain relief, however, is not associated with PPT, a measure of the ascending pain pathways. Whether the pain relief from SM is due to its effects on the descending pain pathways (e.g. CPM) is not known at this time.

The Health Status Report was completed by the applicant’s Physician who has known the applicant for 27 years and seen him between 0 and 5 times in the last year.

Neck pain is quite common, can be burdensome, and costly. One-year prevalence (Hogg-Johnson et al. 2008, Hoy et al. 2010) of neck pain (common) and activity-limiting neck pain (less common) ranged from 30%-50% and 2-11% respectively. The prevalence is higher in women (Kääriä et al. 2012) and is highest in the middle age. Out of 289 causes of disability worldwide and

A middle aged patient with chronic neck pain (>3 months history of neck pain and NDI score of 5014 points) presents. The patient is cleared of having a bone fracture, high blood pressure, surgery, scoliosis, stenosis in the lumbar spine, and spondyloarthritis.

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

Pain cannot be measured by anyone other than the patient that is having the experience. This is why pain is sometime not understood and misevaluated by healthcare workers. Pain is measured by the Visual analog scale (VAS) of 1-10. One being the least amount of pain and ten being the worst possible. This test is done every four hours and reviewed 30 minutes after a medication administration for pain control. This non-invasive test gives the healthcare worker a measurable idea of the intensity of the pain the patient is experiencing. This also gives the health care worker a perceptive of how well the patient responds to pain after medication administration. Pain is not always seen it can be an eternal feeling.

Josephine has come in today because she is having issues with her weight and currently struggling with an eating disorder. Conducting a physical and nutritional assessment would be the best way to determine where she is experiencing deficiencies and what might be causing these problems. The first assessment would be the anthropometrics phase. These are measurements of the body such as weight, circumference, skin fold thickness and body max index (BMI). BMI tests are a common measurement technique many practitioners use mainly because it is easy to perform and inexpensive. Josephine has a BMI of 21.4, which is considered a normal and healthy BMI for her height and weight.
