 *Paper 1* 

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.

 *Paper 2*

 Refer back to the interview and evaluation you conducted in the Topic 2 Family Health Assessment assignment. Identify the social determinates of health (SDOH) contributing to the family’s health status. In a 750-1,000 word paper, create a plan of action to incorporate health promotion strategies for this family. Include the following:  

1. Describe the SDOH that affect the family health status. What is the impact of these SDOH on the family? Discuss why these factors are prevalent for this family.
2. Based on the information gathered through the family health assessment, recommend age-appropriate screenings for each family member. Provide support and rationale for your suggestions.
3. Choose a health model to assist in creating a plan of action. Describe the model selected. Discuss the reasons why this health model is the best choice for this family. Provide rationale for your reasoning.

This assignment will be a review of the literature directly related to the topic or problem under questioning, followed by an explanation of how your clinical question gets answered out of that review. The purpose of the literature review is to know what others have discovered before you begin your investigation of your own, in order to establish a foundation for the topic (or question) being reviewed. In addition, you will be considering the clinical application of this research to professional nursing practice.  This Literature Review will be based upon your individual clinical interest. Each student will choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about (You may use the topic of your final EBP group paper). Students will turn in a 3-4page literature review paper (excluding cover page and references) on the standing knowledge of the chosen question. The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to complete an online literature search on a topic of interest. You will locate, retrieved and summarize at least eight (8) research studies that research articles, which meet the following criteria:

1. Original research studies preferably published from 2013 to the present.
2. At least six of the eight studies should be quantitative research.
3. Two studies may be qualitative (but this is not a requirement).
4. You may also use systematic reviews, metanalysis or clinical practice guidelines.
