EHP Unit 3 Discussion Topic 1

Topic 1: Health Patterns

To determine proper health promotion activities for an individual, you must first assess their current health status. Without a proper assessment, a nurse would be unable to provide adequate care and intervention. Gordon’s functional health pattern framework provides guidance for this assessment.

Discuss Gordon’s functional health patterns as they relate to assessing an individual (and their family). How do the health patterns as they relate to assessments differ, if at all?
