Disclaimer

The focus of this assignment is on communicating details
within the written client record. When taking a health history on an actual
client, it is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the
person you are interviewing that they do not need to disclose information that
they wish to keep confidential. If the interviewee decides not to share
information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.” If the client
fails to disclose answers to several items, you will need to find another
client who is willing to share.

Directions

Find an adult who is not related to you who is willing to
let you take a health history.

Download the required NR305 Health History (Links to an

Review the examples in Chapter 4 of your textbook to gain
insight into how to document the health history. Remember this is a health
history, not a physical examination. Avoid words like frequently, improved,
increased, decreased, good, poor, normal, or WNL (within normal limits) as they
may have different meanings for different people. Instead, document the
specific data that led you to these conclusions, for example, 3x/day instead of
frequently, or consuming four servings of vegetables/day instead of increased
vegetable servings.
