You can find your name by scrolling to left of the page in blue under groups and you will be in one of the groups. You will not be working together. This is simply for your case study or discussion questions. There are limited number of case studies and discussion questions thus the division into groups. Please try and respond to someone outside of your group with case studies and discussion questions. Please, make sure you use rubric as guide for any assignments. Also, please make sure you note that you should post your discussion question first before you are able to respond to your peers. Further, I am please to announce that under your resource list that you will have a weekly lecture usually about 15 minutes or so regarding this week’s topic.

Please click on the videos in which will give you insight to the course. I am attaching the introduction along with Week 1 assignment. This course is composed of four (4) separate modules. Each module consists of an overarching topic in which each week within the module includes specific subtopics for learning. As you work through each module, you will have an opportunity to draw upon the knowledge you gain in various Digital Clinical Experiences (DCE) and lab assignment components that will be due throughout each of the modules. Module 1: Comprehensive Health History is a 1-week module, Week 1 of the course, in which you will examine how social determinants of health such as age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental situations impact the health and risk assessment of the patients you serve. You will also consider how social determinants of health influence your interview and communication techniques as you work in partnership with a patient to gather data to build an accurate health history. What do I have to do? When do I have to do it? Review your Learning Resources Days 1–7, Week 1 Discussion: Building a Comprehensive Health History Post by Day 3 of Week 1, and respond to your colleagues by Day 6 of Week 1.

This is a discussion question. I have divided the class into 2 groups you. Whatever group your assigned is for the entire semester. You will not be working in group together. The reason for the division of the groups is for or discussion questions and case studies. So, depending on what group you are your case study or discussion may be different. GROUPS: Group 1: 16-year-old white pregnant female living in an inner-city neighborhood Group 2 : 40-year-old black recent immigrant from Africa without health insurance To prepare: With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following: By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note : Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment. How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient? How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health? What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks? Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration. Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient. Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history. By Day 3 of Week 1 Post a summary of the interview and a description of the communication techniques you would use with your assigned patient. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient.
