Part 1: Choose an adult (over the age of 18) friend or relative and perform a holistic health assessment.
Clearly document your holistic health assessment data
Your assessment should include the following parts:
Health History
Physiological Assessment
Psychological Assessment
Social Assessment
Cultural Assessment
Developmental Assessment
Spiritual Assessment
Part 2: Interpret the findings in your holistic health assessment data according to pathophysiologic disease
states.
Choose one physiologic abnormality and discuss possible pathophysiologic reasons for the abnormality.
Look at the abnormality on a holistic basis.
How does this abnormality impact the other areas of the patient’s life, especially those areas discussed in
this course?
Discuss the client’s stress and coping mechanisms.
Are they healthy?
What improvements could be made?
Part 3: Create a teaching plan that addresses the client holistically by applying the assessment data you
have analyzed.
Describe at least one client goal for each of the categories (physical, psychological, social, cultural,
developmental, and spiritual).
How will you teach the client about the goal?
How will you evaluate your teaching?
