NRS 429 Assignment Family Health Assessment Part I
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.
Include the following in your paper:
Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any
relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social
class, spirituality, and environment.
Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family.
Describe the current health of the family.
Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional
health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which
health problems or barriers to health were identified.
Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit
changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the
overall family functions over time.

complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years
