Case study
For your assignment you will work on this case: you will take on the role of an APRN who is building a health history for this patient. You will consider how social determinants of health and specific cultural considerations will influence your interview and communication techniques as you work in partnership with the patient to gather data for an accurate health history.
Include the following:
· Explain the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned. Be specific.
· Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask? How might you target your questions based on the patient’s social determinants of health? How would you frame the questions to be sensitive to the patient’s background, lifestyle, and culture?
· Identify any potential health-related risks, based on the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting, which should be taken into consideration.
· What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with this patient?
· Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why.
· Describe the communication techniques you would use with this patient. Include strategies to demonstrate sensitivity with this patient. Be specific and explain why you would use these techniques.
· Summarize the health history interview you would conduct with this patient. Provide at least
five (5) targeted questions you would ask the patient to build their health history and to assess their health risks. Explain your reasoning for each question and how you frame each for this specific patient.
· Identify
one risk assessment instrument, and then justify why it would be applicable to your assigned patient. Be specific.
