Health is important to all of us. It’s a concern for everyone around the world. This includes our mental health as well as physical health. It may surprise some, but culture contributes to the maintenance of our health and the causes and treatment of disease.

History of Present Illness
If you are in a clinic, jail, or in a situation where you do the history and physical exams as a registered nurse, you will need to know how to interview a patient for a health history and doing a genogram.
Attached is a document with the criteria for writing your complete health history paper. Also attached is a sample paper turned in by a Stratford U. student who received an A on her paper.
You will be interviewing another student who is acting and pretending to have a particular type of illness and the student will fabricate a story of his/her illness so you can do a thorough health history on the student.
There are sample health histories attached on clients with a CVA and an MI and one on cirrhosis.
