Traumatic Disorder
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.
