Description Nursing Initial Assessment Assignment Instructions You will be doing a nursing assessment on a family member or friend for this assignment. You will need access to this person for a future assignment as well where you will be recording yourself teaching them, so please keep that in mind when picking someone. ? Using the skills and knowledge you have gained so far this term, perform a nursing assessment on your chosen person and fill out the form provided. ? Choosing someone that has some type of disease process might make this easier. ? As always, include a title page and page numbers in accordance with APA format. It will be easier if you interview someone who has some medical problems, but isn’t required. In this first portion of the assignment, you will be filling out the included template based on doing an assessment of your chosen person. You will act as if you are admitting this patient to the hospital, and you are doing the initial comprehensive assessment. Please interview your designated person and complete the assessment. Be as thorough as possible. This information will be used later on in future assignments. Patient Education Section (Last section) ? You will complete this section based on the assessment you just performed as well as using your client education book as a reference. ? Based on their assessment, what things could you teach this patient? What would they benefit from learning?
