Family Health Assessment Part 1

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and
family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers
information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to
health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered
strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information
you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second
assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused
functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended,
family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each
of the following:

Values/Health Perception
Nutrition
Sleep/Rest
Elimination
Activity/Exercise
Cognitive
Sensory-Perception
Self-Perception
Role Relationship
Sexuality
Coping
Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the
family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied
in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional
assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze
your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with
your assignment.
