Building a Comprehensive Health History

Building a Comprehensive Health History
55-year-old Asian female living in a high-density public housing complex

According to a 2011 Gallup poll, nurses are ranked as the most trusted professionals in the United States. One of the most admired nursing skills is the ability to put patients at ease. When patients enter into a healthcare setting, they are often apprehensive about sharing personal health information. Caring nurses can alleviate the hesitance of patients and encourage them to be forthcoming with this information. 

The initial health history interview can be an excellent opportunity to develop supportive relationships between patients and nurses. Nurses may employ a variety of communication skills and interview techniques to foster strong bonds with patients and to effectively facilitate the diagnostic process. In conducting interviews, advanced practice nurses must also take into account a range of patient-specific factors that may impact the questions they ask, how they ask those questions, and their complete assessment of the patients health. 

This week, you will consider how social determinants of health such as age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental situation impact the health and risk assessment of the patients you serve. You will also consider how social determinants of health influence your interview and communication techniques as you work in partnership with a patient to gather data to build an accurate health history.
Learning Objectives
Students will:

Analyze communication techniques used to obtain patients health histories based upon social determinants of health
Analyze health-related risk
Apply concepts, theories, and principles related to patient interviewing, diagnostic reasoning, and recording patient information

Discussion: Building a Health History
Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patients 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 health risks.

For 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.

To prepare:

With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:

By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note: Please see the Course Announcements section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.
How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?
How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patients social determinants of health?
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?
Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patients age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
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.
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.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post 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 target

Identify each type of evaluation that you are using and the part of the program to which it applies, program goals, and program accomplishments. Describe successful areas of the program and areas that need improvement. For the areas requiring improvement, present the changes that will be made, the anticipated outcomes, and how those changes would be evaluated.

Write a 1520-page, double-spaced paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

NALYZING THE DATA SET USING DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

August 20, 2020 Leave a comment Not set, Undergraduate

Now that you have your unique survey data in Excel, you can perform descriptive statistics with the tools we learned at the beginning of the course.

Windows PC users: For installing an Analysis ToolPak add-in, please use your HELP feature in your version of Microsoft Excel.
Mac users: StatPlus: Mac LE is the free equivalent for Apple users, but you must download it from AnalystSoft. Note: Excel 2016 now has an available Toolpak add-in.
Make sure you have watched the Week 7 Project Video. Your instructor walks you through the process.

Assignment Instructions
Complete this assignment on one Excel sheet. Access and review the Analyzing the Data Set Using Descriptive Statistics [XLSX].

Include the following components in your analysis of the data:

Part 1
Analyze the data for questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 (binary questions). Your analysis must have the following elements:

Sample Size.
Sample Proportion of each response.
Bar Chart or Pie Chart.
Part 2
Analyze the data for Questions 5 and 6. Your analysis must have the following elements:

Sample mean.
Sample median.
Sample mode.
Sample range.
Sample standard deviation.
Sample minimum and maximum.
Histogram.
Part 3
Explore your data a bit further. What are two interesting findings from your survey responses? You might investigate responses for selected variables based on responses to your binomial questions. For example, if the answer to question 1 were Male or Female, and the answer to question 6 were Annual Income, you might examine average annual income for males only and females only and compare these results.

Present your findings in an appropriate table, graph, or chart. Then, write in the same Excel spreadsheet a 12 paragraph summary of your findings.

Notes
Technology: You may need to sort or rearrange your original data file to accomplish some of these tasks. Be sure you keep a copy of your original data file as a backup.
Results: Because the survey data generation is done without context, you will have to put aside any preconceived notions about how your data should look. Your task is to analyze, interpret, and communicate the unique results.
Binary Question: For the responses to Questions 14, you will need to assign the survey responses to 0s and 1s generated for questions 14 in columns A through D. The generator automatically generates 0s and 1s for the responses to your binary questions (14). The tool does not know your questions or possible responses for these questions. Assign 0 to one of your possible responses and assign 1 to the other possible response. For example, if you asked: “Are you male of female?” you could assign Male = 0 and Female = 1, or vice versa. It is up to you which response to assign 0 and which to assign 1.
Submission and Verification Instructions
When you have completed this assignment, submit your Excel spreadsheet containing Parts 13, to your instructor in the Analyzing the Data Set Using Descriptive Statistics Assignment area. Format your findings with appropriate, legible labels.
Verify you have included all of the elements for Parts 13 before submitting. You should have:
Four bar graphs (or four pie charts), one each for questions 14.
Two histograms, one each for questions 5 and 6.
Two tables, graphs, or charts to represent interesting findings from your survey responses. Include a 12 paragraph summary of your findings.
Refer to the Analyzing the Data Set Using Descriptive Statistics Scoring Guide before submitting to ensure your assignment meets the grading criteria.
