Connecting consumers to reliable health care information or health care providers can be challenging for any institution. At the current time, there are two popular methods that allow consumers to access health care. One method to obtain reliable health-related information is through an electronic web-based resource. The other option, if a consumer prefers to see a health care provider in person, is through a walk-in clinic. Utilizing these resources allows the consumer to see a health care provider for acute and minor illnesses or obtain detailed information and potential treatment options via the internet. When looking to increase usability and awareness, institutions should understand the values and preferences of

This assessment was conducted after interviewing the Nelson family using Gordon’s functional health pattern. Marjorie Gordon developed a method to be used by nurses in the nursing process to provide a comprehensive nursing assessment. It includes eleven principles for the collection of data and helps the nurse identify two or more wellness nursing diagnoses. It is a systematic and standardized approach to data collection (“functional health” n.d.). The Nelson family includes a husband and wife named Gerad age 31, Kelsey age 29, and their two daughters Elliot age 4, and Lucy age 2. I first met Kelsey at work where she is also a critical care nurse with a young family just starting out.

According to the worksheet, “How Healthy Are You?” the dimensions of health I scored the highest on were Physical and Spiritual Health. I scored an 18 out of 20 on both Physical and Spiritual Health making these two the ones that I am functioning well in.

I am functioning well in Physical Health because I am happy with my weight and size, I get 7-8 hours of sleep, I am always walking around at work (almost 3-5 miles), and my immune system is good when responding to viruses or any harmful things.

     There are six separate and distinct categories when defining one’s wellness. Those stages are physical, social, vocational, environmental, psychological, and spiritual. Without one the other could not exist. Physical wellness includes being physically fit, eating nutritiously, and getting adequate sleep. I consider myself to be doing well in this category. I always am in bed before midnight, and exercise at least four to five times in a week. I consider my diet to be the one thing lacking when looking deeper into my physical well-being. Social wellness means having satisfying, trusting relationships and interacting well with others. I feel that this is also a strong part of my total wellness. I feel confident as well as excited to meet new people here at Cornerstone everyday. Vocational wellness is finding meaning in and satisfaction with your school, job, and leisure pursuits. Looking at the vocational

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.
