The Holistic Patient Assessment 5
Part 1: Choose an adult (over the age of 18) friend or relative and perform a holistic health assessment. Clearly document your holistic health assessment data
Your assessment should include the following parts:
Health History
Physiological Assessment
Psychological Assessment
Social Assessment
Cultural Assessment
Developmental Assessment
Spiritual Assessment
Part 2: Interpret the findings in your holistic health assessment data according to pathophysiologic disease states.
Choose one physiologic abnormality and discuss possible pathophysiologic reasons for the abnormality.
Look at the abnormality on a holistic basis.
How does this abnormality impact the other areas of the patient’s life, especially those areas discussed in this course?
Discuss the client’s stress and coping mechanisms.
Are they healthy?
What improvements could be made?
Part 3: Create a teaching plan that addresses the client holistically by applying the assessment data you have analyzed.
Describe at least one client goal for each of the categories (physical, psychological, social, cultural, developmental, and spiritual).
How will you teach the client about the goal?
How will you evaluate your teaching?
Part 4: Prepare a PowerPoint presentation for your patient teaching.
You should have at least six slides (one for each type of goal – physical, psychological, social, cultural, developmental, and spiritual), in addition to the title slide, objective slide, and references slide.
Please be sure to have at least one scholarly source in the PPT.
Assignment Expectations:
Length: Essay of 1500 words; PP of 12 content slides (and include a title, objective, and reference slides – these do not count towards the required content slides)
Structure: PP as noted above. Essay: Include a title page and reference page in APA format. These do not count towards the minimum word count for the essay part of the assignment. Your essay must include an introduction and a conclusion.
References: Use appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. A minimum of three scholarly sources plus the textbook are required.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
