Assignment: Health & Medical Risk Assessment for Angina Patient Case Study

Description
80 year old white male with angina lives on a farm 80 miles away from a healthcare center

How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?

How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?

What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?

Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.

Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.
Post a summary of the interview and a description of the communication techniques you would use with your assigned patient. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient.

With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:  By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.  How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?  How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?  What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?  Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.  Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.  Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history. By Day 3 of Week 1 Post a summary of the interview and a description of the communication techniques you would use with your assigned patient.

Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient. A 40-year-old black recent immigrant from Africa without health insurance According to Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart (2019), a health history can help identify issues that a patient sees as problems and illness. Developing a detailed patient history requires developing a relationship with the patient. My scenario is a 40-year-old black recent immigrant from Africa without health insurance. The first step regarding communication with this patient is finding out if the patient speaks English. If the patient does not speak English getting a proper This study source was downloaded by 100000823789548 from CourseHero.com on 02-24-2022 12:54:30 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/66430926/nurs-6512-week-1docx/ interpreter to help assess the patient. In the ER, we have a language line, which is a portable phone that you select the language you need, and a certified interpreter is provided to you and the patient for proper interpretation. All patients are not the same, and creating a trusting environment with the patient will produce much more valid, honest, and complete information. The communication techniques need to be tailored to everyone based on age, culture, and environmental factors.

By creating a safe space to engage your patient, the clinician should create a comfortable environment and be at eye level to the patient and approach in a relaxed, unhurried manner (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2019). Asking the patient what they would like to be called so that you address them correctly is essential to be respectful. While getting a health history from the patient the basics are mandatory such as age, gender, sex, children, home life, education, work, and family but, some other questions that may be important to this situation which should include, if the patient has any children, what the current living situation is, any past medical problems, previous surgeries, how the patient is feeling today, and why the patient is here to be seen today. Depending on the reason why the patient is seeking medical care could cause them increased anxiety about payment for the current medical treatment and future medical issues as well. Getting the patient resources to help with the cost of medications and future visits could help alleviate some of the anxiety. According to Percheski & Bzostek (2017), immigrant status and living in a non-English speaking household are associated with more complex risks of worse health care outcomes, such as not having a usual source of care, not having a personal doctor or nurse, and not receiving adequate care coordination. According to Wu & Orlando (2015), health risk assessments provide a chance to highlight health promotion and disease prevention for individuals and populations.

The advanced practice nurse should center the care around the patient and their needs.

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
