With patients undergoing hospitalization for illnesses and surgeries and having shorter and shorter hospital stays, the focus in nursing care is educating patients to take care of themselves in a healthy way in the community. Patients get referrals to the growing home health field for continued care for patients in their homes. Comprehensive health assessments are done following discharge by home health nurse/case managers. Nurses evaluate health history and medication lists Teaching and care plans are implemented in the home based on diagnoses. Care plans get communicated with physicians for approval and nurses and other disciplines are in constant communication for the benefit of the patient’s overall health. Family centered care becomes important as families become the caregivers. Nurses evaluate family situations and provided resources for them as needed. We identify barriers to learning and creatively instruct patients to overcome these barriers. A health-risk appraisal is a done to estimate an individual's health threat because of demographic, behavioral, and personal characteristics (Pender et al., 2006). Personal risk profiles are developed based on information provided by the client and information from laboratory data or other assessments. This is done for an assessment and motivational purpose and is the collection and organization of data to determine what the health risks are. …show more content…
