Building a Health History
\nEffective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient\u2019s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients\u2019 health risks.
\nFor this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.<\/p>\n

\nTo prepare:
\nWith the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:
\n\u2022 By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note: Please see the \u201cCourse Announcements\u201d section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.
\n\u2022 How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?
\n\u2022 How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient\u2019s social determinants of health?
\n\u2022 What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?
\n\u2022 Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient\u2019s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
\n\u2022 Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.
\n\u2022 Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.
\nBy Day 3 of Week 1
\nPost a summary of the interview and a description of the communication techniques you would use with your assigned patient. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
