LEASE, FOLLOW THE GRADING RUBICS ATTACHED.
Using the following components of a health history assessment and your textbook for explicit details
about each category, complete a health assessment/history on an individual of your choice. The person
interviewed must be 18 years of age or older and should NOT be a family member or close friend. The
purpose of this restriction is to avoid any tendency to anticipate answers or to influence how the
questions are answered. Your goal in choosing an interviewee is to simulate the interaction between you
and an individual for whom you would provide care. It is important that you inform the person of your
assignment and assure him/her that the information obtained will be kept confidential. Please be sure to
avoid the use of any identifiers in preparing the assignment.
