Instructions – There are 2 parts to this Assessment
Part 1:
Choose one patient-centered assessment topic listed below.
Select from the following patient-centered topic areas:
Cultural Assessment
Mental Status Assessment
Sexual Identity and LGBTQ health issue assessment
Domestic Violence Assessment
Spirituality and Health Assessment
You may select another topic area of particular interest to you and not listed here. If you would like to choose a different topic than listed above, please get instructor approval first.
Research your topic through library and web sources. Use reputable sources.
Generally, websites ending in .org, .gov, or .edu are stronger resources than .com sites; or use the library to search for information.
*You must must include at least one reference from the UIC Library or Learning Resource from this week or prior weeks within your answers.
Be sure to focus on the health ASSESSMENT of your selected topic. You are not researching and writing on the entire topic.
You will investigate your topic and answer these 4 questions:
1. Is your topic primarily assessed through health history or physical assessment, or both?
2. Why should the topic you are studying be included in a health assessment?
3. What key questions should be asked in assessing this topic with adult clients? If possible, find an assessment tool or guide to which you can refer teammates.
4. Generally, what type of follow-up action, documentation, or reporting is required for information discovered in assessing your topic?
This paper is a formal written assessment.
It should have an APA Title Page, an introduction paragraph (can be brief), the body of the paper, a conclusion paragraph (can be brief); APA citations and APA references.
You are required to use the Written Paper Template you received during Orientation when you completed all the tasks in Module 4 Lesson 2.
