In this assignment, you will be completing a health assessment on an older adult. To complete this assignment, do the following:

• Perform a health history on an older adult. Students who do not work in an acute setting may "practice" these skills with a patient, community member, neighbor, friend, colleague, or loved one. (If an older individual is not available, you may choose a younger individual).
• Complete a physical examination of the client using the "Individual Health History and Examination Assignment" resource. Use the "Functional Health Pattern Assessment" resource as a guideline to assist you in completing the template.
• Document findings of complete physical examination in Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR) format.
• Document the findings of the physical examination in the assessment worksheet.
• Using the "Individual Health History and Examination Assignment" resource, provide the physical examination findings summary with planned interventions for the client. Include any community services in the interventions.
• APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
