RUA-Health History Project
Health History
Provide a comprehensive health history narrative that includes: demographic data; perception of health; past medical history; family medical history; review of systems; developmental considerations; cultural considerations; psychosocial considerations; and collaborative resources.
Reflection
Reflect on the interaction with the interviewee holistically. Consider the interaction in its entirety: include the environment, your approach to the individual, time of day, and other features relevant to therapeutic communication and the interview process (if needed, refer to your text for a description of therapeutic communication and the interview process). Be sure your reflection addresses each of these questions: How did your interaction compare to what you have learned? What went well? What barriers to communication did you experience? How did you overcome them? Were there unanticipated challenges to the interview? Was there information you wished you had obtained? How will you alter the approach next time?
Grammar, Spelling, Clarity of Thought
Writing should reflect your synthesis of ideas based on prior knowledge, newly acquired information, and appropriate writing skills. Scoring of your work in written communication is based on proper use of grammar, spelling, and how clearly you express your thoughts and reasoning in writing.
