Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and  family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment  gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential  barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop  family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The  information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for  the second assignment (Family Assessment Part II).

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused  functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three  open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health  patterns for each of the following:

1. Values/Health Perception
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep/Rest
4. Elimination
5. Activity/Exercise
6. Cognitive
7. Sensory-Perception
8. Self-Perception
9. Role Relationship
10. Sexuality
11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the  family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions  complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused  functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper.  Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an  appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any    relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity,    social class, spirituality, and environment.
2. Summarize the    overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health    of the family.
3. Based on your findings, describe at least    two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the    findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers    to health were identified.
4. Describe how family systems    theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in    turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over  time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete  this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years  and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the  rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the  expectations for successful completion.

********* See Upload For Scenario Guideline *********

Review the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician’s practice

Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician’s office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the practice. As a result, you are asked to “up-code” billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?

Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting

Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit. You just received a new patient who needs to be admitted to your unit and you just finished medicating a patient with a narcotic injection with a dose greater than ordered. Clearly understanding medication errors may lead to patient injury and even death, explain why a clinician may choose not to report the incident.

Scenario 3: Not hiring a qualified individual because of discrimination

Imagine you are a new human resources director in a nonprofit organization and have been pressured not to hire Middle Eastern candidates by the organization’s CEO. In the United States, discrimination against people based on their ethnicity, race, or cultural orientation is strictly forbidden under federal and state laws. Ethical discrimination may result in the breeding of ill feelings at work, as well as reduced productivity. To eliminate these ramifications, organizations need to put forth increased effort in curbing ethical discrimination in the employment sector. What are some interventions organizations can put in place to prevent discrimination?

Write a 200-word response for each ethical scenario addressing the items on the worksheet. 

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

TASK

Post your initial response to one of the two topics below.

Topic 1

Personal Philosophy

· From your readings about teaching and learning theories, develop and discuss your personal philosophy of teaching in nursing.

Just as contention among provider groups can be unproductive, so can lack of cooperation between those providers and consumer advocacy organizations.  It would be naive to think that there will be no competition. However, little good is done by allowing that competition to reach levels of excess. Nor would it be fair to indicate that there is no ongoing cooperation among provider entities at the present. There is. However, if the continuum of care is to even approach a state of seamlessness, there must be less bickering among provider groups and more collaborative effort.
