⫸ Student: What are my objectives in this assessment? Answer:
Diana Shadow: A health history requires you to ask questions related
to Ms. Jones' past and present health, from her current foot wound to
her pre-existing conditions. You will also want to review Ms. Jones'
systems, psychosocial history, and family medical history. These
assessments together will give you a comprehensive picture of Ms.
Jones' overall health. If you discover any disease states, ask about
symptoms and the patient's experiences of them. Your questioning
should cover a broad array of the symptoms' characteristics.
Throughout the conversation, you should educate and empathize with
Ms. Jones when appropriate to increase her health literacy and sense
of well-being. Regardless of whether you have assessed Ms. Jones
previously, ask all questions that are necessary for obtaining a
complete health history. While you should communicate with patients
using accessible, everyday language, it is standard practice to use
professional medical terminology everywhere else, such as in
documenting physical findings and nursing notes. You may complete
the exam activities in any order and move between them as needed.
