HEALTH ASSESSMENT

We, the students of BSN1-I, were tasked to perpetrate the activity entitled

“Gordon’s FHQ Interview and Narrative Report” as part of our laboratory activity and

performance task. The said activity will help us understand more about the functional

health pattern of the patient by assessing them in a form of interview. Moreover, our

interview skill and our theoretical knowledge on the topics; Gordon’s 11 Functional

Health Pattern and History Taking will serve as our stepping stone in order for us to

finish the task.

Furthermore, this is a group activity that will help us strengthen the bond,

improve our socialization and camaraderie, as well as to gain knowledge in the given

topic by performing the said task.
