HEALTH HISTORY

Instructions

Utilizing the interview techniques, critical thinking skills, nutrition and growth and development we have discussed in lecture, you are to obtain a complete and thorough health history of an adult (age 30-60 years) friend, relative, neighbor, or co-worker who is culturally different from yourself. Document this information appropriately in a narrative format and create a culturally sensitive NARRATIVE plan of care that includes two (2) physical and one (1) psychosociocultural nursing diagnoses, short and long term goals, interventions, rationales for your interventions and expected outcomes.

• First, COMPLETELY fill out the health history form (you can type or handwrite anywhere on the form or scan a hand-written form). Submit the form with your written paper (requirement for the assignment).
• Ensure the person interviewed is between the age of 30-60 years and is culturally different from yourself
• DO NOT USE NAMES OR ANY OTHER IDENTIFYING INFORMATION (REMEMBER HIPAA)
• Document in a narrative-formatted (NOT BULLET POINTS OR LISTS) culturally sensitive plan of care
• The plan of care MUST include two physical nursing diagnoses and one psychosocial cultural nursing diagnosis. The nursing diagnoses MUST be NANDA approved.
• For a list of NANDA nursing diagnoses visit this link:

• For each nursing diagnosis, include at least two short term and two long term goals; appropriate interventions and the rationales for your interventions as well as expected outcomes
• Incorporate at least three culturally based references other than course text

You will find the grading rubric for this assignment when you click on the “Obtaining a Health History” link above or opening the “Assignment Rubric” folder! Please be sure to watch the instructional video also.

IMPORTANT TIP: PLEASE WRITE THIS IN A NARRATIVE FORMAT, NOT as a care plan with bullet points and sentence fragments. Think of it as obtaining the information from the health history, and then INTERPRETING it for the written narrative as you consider outcomes. (This assignment will be submitted to TurnitinTM.)
