Holistic Assessment and Application of the Nursing Process (FHP)
Objectives:
1) Conduct a sensitive patient interview using therapeutic communication skills to complete a comprehensive health history of an assigned client in the clinical setting. Do not use patient identifiers i.e. name, DOB, employer, school, etc.
2) Organize holistic data consistently using Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns as a guide.
3) Concisely summarize significant patient findings including physical, psychosocial, strengths, & weaknesses.
4) Identify one priority nursing diagnosis and correctly write it as a diagnostic statement.
5) Complete an individualized plan of care based on assessment findings and state how you would evaluate if it met patient needs.
6) Utilize self-reflection to identify health promotion opportunities and the role of the nurse.
