Family Assessment: Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Shirley Allen Grand Canyon University Family Assessment: Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Healthcare today is centered around health promotion. A framework for prevention of disease and health promotion is provided by Healthy People 2010. Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns gives us structure for collecting material through assessment of the patient and their family and that assists in spotting lifestyle patterns. The mentioned patterns assist in leading nursing diagnoses and interventions for current or likely complications to advance health and well-being (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). This composition will layout two to three Q & A for all patterns used to evaluate the family and decipher the conclusion of a particular family utilizing Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns.
My Family Health Assessment Paper The author of this paper interviewed a family using Gordon’s eleven Functional Health Patterns: Health Perception/ Health Management; Nutrition; Elimination; Activity/Exercise; Sleep/Rest; Sexuality-Reproductive; Cognitive-Perceptual; Role-Relationship; Self Perception/ Self Concept; Coping- Stress Tolerance and Values-Beliefs. By using these Gordon’s eleven Functional Health Patterns the nurse can better assess the family health status and help create a comprehensive nursing assessment of the family (Kriegler & Harton, 1992). The completed family assessment on the Roncal family using the 11 functional health patterns created by Gordon. The Roncal family consist of 4 members, the husband name Gerry, the wife name Merly and their two children age 11 and 15 Joy and John. The family were asked questions from each category of the functional health patterns, findings will be briefly discuss in this paper.
Gordon delineated a typology of 11 health patterns as a universal framework for nurses. Each of Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns aids in the organization of the family assessment (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The patterns form a standardized format for assessment using an approach with emphasis on developmental stages and risk factors. Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Patterns Gordon as a guide for establishing a comprehensive nursing database proposed the following 11 health patterns. These patterns include health- perception and health-management, nutrition and metabolism, elimination, activity and exercise, cognitions and perception, sleep and rest, self-perceptions and self-concept, roles and relationships, sexuality and reproduction, coping and stress tolerance, and values and beliefs (Edelman & Mandle, 2010).

Running Head: DONABEDIAN’S SPO MODEL OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY Donabedian’s SPO Model of Health Care Quality on Asthmatic Health Care [STUDENT’S NAME] [INSTITUTION NAME] [INSTRUCTOR’S NAME] [CLASS] SOP Model in Pediatric Asthma Care Research on measures of health care quality frequently cites the Avedis Donabedian’s structure/process/outcome (SPO) model (as cited in Zinn & Morr, 1997). Donabedian further made distinctions between two types of outcomes. Firstly, technical outcomes which include physical and functional aspects of care and secondly, interpersonal outcomes include elements of the ‘art’ of medicine (Zinn & Morr, 1997). The specific episode of health care service that will be scrutinized using the Donabedian’s SPO model is the service for pediatric asthmatic care. Research has indicated that by 2005, there was 8 percent occurrences of asthma in the United States; 9 percent in children younger than 18 years old and an estimate of 5 percent of children had experienced an asthma attack (Pollart et al., 2011).
I thanked the Resident for this opportunity. I modified the interview for my resident by presenting her with her glasses, sitting at eye level, speaking slow and clearly, and repeating questions for clarification. After the data was collected I highlight the patient safety issue related to the aging process and resident physical needs. The primary safety issues that were identified are impaired mobility related to CVA, endurance related to fatigue, pain, nutritional status related to resident eating habits, impaired sensory related to vision, improper walker usage, polypharmacy, and the need to check expiration date.

FCA and Society and Health Essay Discuss experiences of health care and the factors that may influence patient satisfaction In this essay I am going to discuss the health care experiences that I have encountered since I have started medical school. This information has been gained through meeting regularly with my allocated patient whom has a chronic disease, patients I have met whilst on GP placement, people I have spoken to whilst conducting my survey and my own experiences. I will also consider factors which influence patient satisfaction. Since October I have been visiting a patient who has experienced a wide range of health care practices since being diagnosed with a chronic disease; dermatomyositis, interstitial lung disease and antisynthetase syndrome. I have chosen to reflect upon and evaluate her most recent NHS experience to illustrate satisfaction levels and influential factors relating to her unique experiences and expectations of the NHS system.

Sometimes patient’s neurological deficits get resolved after a few hours or days and that calls for change of treatment plan. How do I know the nursing intervention to perform on stroke patients? It’s through empirical knowing. Empirical knowing is the ‘science’ of nursing, it can be systematically organized into general laws and theories that are used to describe, explain, and predict (Carper, 1978).Empirical knowing is knowledge obtained from school lectures, text books and journals. Empirical knowing focuses on evidenced based practice which leads to effective nursing practice.
