past health history, family history, and lifestyle and health practices (which
include information related to the client's overall functioning) as well as objective
data gathered during a step-by-step physical examination.


ongoing or partial assessment answer >>>> consists of data collection that
occurs after the comprehensive database is established. This consists of a
minioverview of the client's body systems and holistic health patterns as a follow
up on health status. Any problems that were initially detected in the client's body
system or holistic health patterns are reassessed to determine any changes
(deterioration or improvement) from the baseline data


Focused or Problem Oriented Assessment answer >>>> does not replace the
comprehensive health assessment. It is performed when a comprehensive
database exists for a client who comes to the health care agency with a specific
health concern. A focused assessment consists of a thorough assessment of a
particular client problem and does not address areas not related to the problem.
