Aspects of normal family function include but are not limited healths promoting behaviors, fulfilling developmental tasks, value systems, and effective health practices. Assessing the way a family interacts with one another and the environment can tell you which direction to begin with intervention. Through family health assessments the nurse is able to gain the norms, expectations, communication, and coping strategies from a family’s perspective. This paper is the results of an interview used to assess the function of a particular family. The responses in turn help to shape the appropriate wellness nursing diagnoses. The questions are open ended and cover all the components of a functional health assessment. Health Perception-Health Management The family had no specific philosophy for its view on health.

...proposed functional health patterns as a guide for establishing a comprehensive nursing data base. A family’s functional health patterns evolve from a client_enviromental interaction. Each pattern is a expression of biopsychosocial integration.There is no one pattern which can be understood without the knowledge of other patterns. Functional health patterns are influenced by biological, developmental, cultural, social, and spiritual factors.A functional pattern represents a healthy set of behaviors.The judgement of whether a pattern is functional or dysfunctional is made by comparing assessment data. These 11 categories make possible a systematic and standardized approach to data collection, and enable the nurse to determine the different aspects of health and human function. This paper will discuss the nurse’s role in family assessment and how this task is performed by the use of family focused open ended questions. Using Gordon’s functional health patterns, this paper will summarize the findings of each health pattern as well as the family based nursing diagnosis of each assessment.

Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns help organizes basic family assessment information. This standardized format will guide nurses to complete the family assessment using system approaches, which will identify a patient’s developmental stages and risk factors. Once the functional and dysfunctional behaviors are identified for an individual or within the family history, planning begins in order to achieve the goal with the nurse and the family involved. This will help nurses to create interventions to modify influencing factors to promote positive changes. The 11 functional health patterns are health perceptions and health management, nutrition and elimination, activity and exercises, sleep and rest, cognitive and self perception, role and relationship, sexuality and reproduction, coping stress, value and belief (Koshar, n.d.).

The way that it is defined currently is a family is a set of interacting individual is related by blood, marriage, cohabitation, or adoption who interdependently perform relevant functions by fulfilling expected roles (Edelman & Mandel, 2012). When it comes to health promotion and disease prevention the family is the primary source in which individuals learn how to deal with these issues and influence the individual. When it comes to family care and support the best approach is to make it as family centered as possible. According to Gordon, functional health patterns encompass human growth and development, represents bio psychosocial expressions of the whole person, and allow for developmental assessment of client-environment interaction (Krozy & McCarthy, 2002). This paper will focus on a family assessment performed by using a family centered approach known as Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns. Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns help organize basic family assessment information (Edelman & Mandel, 2012).

...Family Health Assessment Nurses could view family as a client, as one unit with multiple individuals in different stages of transition including adults, adolescents, and small children. “A family is a set of interacting individuals related by marriage, blood, and adoption or by cohabitation interdependently perform relevant functions to fulfill expected role” (Edelman & Mandle2010). System theory helps nurses to view clients as participating members of a family. Developmental theory helps nurses to look at different phases of the family system and predict family transitions based on the norms. Gordon’s functional health patterns help nurses to assess and understand health patterns of their family as a whole functional unit that relates to their health needs, and modify nursing practice accordingly (Edelman & Mandle2010). Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns are values/ health perception, nutrition, sleep/rest, elimination, activity/exercise, cognitive, sensory- perception, self-perception, role relationship, sexuality, and coping.
