Functional Health Patterns

Hi class,

Functional health patterns provide a holistic model for assessment of the patient because assessment data is classified under 11 headings: health perception and health management, nutritional-metabolic, elimination, activity and exercise, sleep and rest, cognition and perception, self-perception and self-concept, roles and relationships, sexuality and reproduction, coping and stress tolerance, and values and beliefs. Questions posed under each of the health patterns can be varied to reflect the uniqueness of the individual patient as well as to inquire about strengths and weaknesses in all patterns.

What questions do you use most frequently when assessing your patients?
