Barkauskas, Stoltenberg-Allen, Baumann and Darling-Fisher (2002) consider health assessment as the systematic collection of data that health professionals, such as nurses, can use to make decisions about how thy will intervene to promote, manintain or restore health. In this paper, discussion about nursing assessment form of Queen Elizabeth Hospital (figure 1) and Gordon’s functional health pattern (figure 2) are presented, and comparisons between these two assessments on the aspects of structure, comprehensiveness, and applicability will be explained. Comparison between hospital assessment and Gordon’s functional health patterns Queen Elizabeth Hospital admission assessment form and the Gordon’s functional health pattern assessment form also can showed the evaluation of Ms Wong’s condition, Ms Wong was admitted to QEH because of slip and fell with left patella fracture. Both assessment forms had clear subjective and objective data on health perception and elimination pattern. It can provide data for us to making nursing diagnosis and care plan. However, there are something difference in terms of structure, comprehensive and applicability of these two assessment.

...Assessment is the first stage of nursing process in which the nurse should carry out a complete and holistic nursing assessment of every patient’s needs, regardless of the reason for the encounter. Usually, an assessment framework, based on a nursing model is used. This assignment attempts to define the points of view of two different frameworks used to collect health assessment data, which are Majory Gordon’s Functional Health Pattern (1994) and The Roy Adaptation Model (2009). The next part would be mentioned about codes of professional, ethical and legal considerations. Finally, I would reflect myself regarding to how to collect and organise patient’s comprehensive health assessment data use these frameworks. The Functional Health Pattern assessment framework is particularly useful in collecting health data to formulate nursing diagnoses (Gordon, 1994, p. 69). Gordon has defined 11 functional health patterns that provide for a holistic client database (p.70). The first pattern is Health perception-health management pattern, is focused on the patient’s perceived level of health and well-being, and how to manage patient’s health. The next pattern is Nutritional –metabolic pattern. This assessment is focused on the pattern of food and fluid intake relative to metabolic need (pp. 80-82). The Elimination pattern is the third pattern. In this pattern, data collection is focused on excretory of the patient. Includes regularity and control of bowel and bladder habits...

...What is the purpose of this guide? The purpose of this guide is to help academic units develop and/or improve the process of assessing student learning. Why is assessment of student learning important? In effect there are two reasons assessment of student learning is important. Assessment is needed for improvement. Improvement, with its internal focus provides • opportunities for the academic community to engage in self-reflection of its learning goals, to determine the degree to which these goals correspond to student and societal needs, and to evaluate if students’ activities, products, or performances coincide with the academic community’s expectations; • offers information to students about the knowledge, skills, and other attributes they can expect to possess after successfully completing coursework and academic programs. • establishes ways for academic units to understand the dimensions of student learning when seeking to improve student achievement and the educational process. Assessment is needed for accountability. Accountability, with its external focus, provides Step One: Identify Goals A goal is a statement expressing what ideals are to be achieved. Goal statements tend to be broadly philosophical, global, timeless and not readily amenable to measurement. They capture the knowledge, skills, and values that students should acquire in a program by a course. This first step in identifying goals requires faculty and others to reflect on questions such...
