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 in Topic 3.

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.

I need these answered in about 150 words each  

1. It is pretty much expected that a lot of information related to quality improvement or patient safety is embedded in the EHR. It is also important to remember that in the completion of your DPI project, HIPAA rules are adhered to. Can you share a little more specifically if you will access the patient’s chart in the EHR, what information you will collect in the EHR if you will access and what ethical considerations are in place to ensure you stay within regulations?

2. You make a good point that an intervention over an 8-week period might be more effective than one over a 4 week period as well as the discussion of Internet based technology interventions. For your project looking at the nurse led education intervention, how are you specifically going to use technology? Will you do these education interventions via an Internet based technology like zoom? what if a patient does not have Internet access? will you exclude those patients? One would argue that the folks who may not have Internet access are ones experiencing socio-economic difficulties which place them at an increased risk of health complications and so would be the ones needing your intervention the most. There have been many systematic reviews looking social determinants of health and their impact on health outcomes including glycemic control in type 2 diabetics and there is a clear correlation there ( Walker et al, 2014)

3. What technology will you use to gather your data and analyze it? What statistical tests will you run if any? What specific data analysis will complete once you have your data? For example, will only look at descriptive data? what specific descriptive data? will you do a t test?…using what software? If you are unsure, this might be a good time to revisit your statistics material or reach out to a statistician to review

1. In 200-250 words, respond to the following: Should the physician allow Mike to continue making decisions that seem to him to be irrational and harmful to James, or would that mean a disrespect of a patient’s autonomy? Explain your rationale.

How should he reason about trusting God and treating James in relation to what is truly honoring the principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence in James’s care?
3. In 200-250 words, respond to the following: How would a spiritual needs assessment help the physician assist Mike determine appropriate interventions for James and for his family or others involved in his care?
