Question

Directions:   The student will utilize Marjory Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns as a template for self-assessment. By applying a theoretical model of change, the student will also identify a desired health-related goal for self and the process to achieve that goal.  The student should not disclose any personal information that the student determines to be sensitive in nature and/or private or confidential. For example, the student should not disclose that he/she is taking a specific medication or consulting with health care professionals for his/her health care needs. Rather, the student may wish to record a more broad-based statement like, “I am going to increase my exercise to meet national nutritional guidelines.” The above directions will be discussed in class. If a student has any questions about completing the assignment, the student is encouraged to consult with the course Instructor. The student is also encouraged to submit a draft of the paper, for Instructor feedback, at least one week before the due date of the assignment.

This paper is worth 100 points

Your: age; gender; height; weight; temperature; blood pressure; heart & respiratory rate;

General description of yourself. This should be a short paragraph.

Identify your developmental state according to the major theorists.  You may use a chart for this. Format with column one Theorists; Column 2—your developmental stage according to the theorists; Column 3—any associated tasks for that period and where you are (This may suggest something you need to work on, i.e. an insight leading to a change item).

Gordon Functional Health Pattern Subjective Assessment Guide: Overview and useful links are imbedded in the comments.  You may set up a chart: in first column identify the functional health pattern; in column two summarize important information about yourself; in column three identify if there are items you would like to change
