Patient Genogram Analysis

Improved Essays
Evaluating the genogram of the patient, I notice some diseases, illnesses, and maybe mental problems. In the patient’s family, the diseases that have been seen are: Parkinson’s disease, Hypertension, Stroke, Dementia/Alzheimer’s, Urinary Incontinence, Diabetes, High Cholesterol, and a possible suicide. The diseases from the list that appeared more than once in different family members were hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. Those are the diseases that I want to focus on and give the patient more information about and teach about how to prevent these diseases. I will also give information on all other diseases seen, but go into more details for the more common diseases.

As for now, the patient seems generally healthy and in good shape, it

Because I haven’t and no one around me has experienced these health problems, I didn’t know a lot about them. Now I do, and how to prevent this from occurring to me and others. I have also learnt how to give a full health assessment through listening to this one and writing it out like I have actually done the interview.…

Before I dive into the cultural beliefs that my family has, let me quickly explain my family dynamic. My mother was one of two daughters. My aunt Debra moved to Texas before I was born and to this day I have never met her or anyone in her family.…
