Develop a genogram that provides an effective tool for gathering family data

The purpose of this assignment is for students to:

-develop a genogram that provides an effective tool for gathering family data,

-provide a visual portrayal of a patient’s family health history as the history pertains to the physical exam,

-provide healthcare providers with a clearer picture of a patient’s non-modifiable risk factors, and

-discuss their understanding of the patient’s genomic profile and the relationship to current health concerns.

Overview

A genogram is a visual and written representation of a history and physical. This genogram will be based on information obtained from the Shadow Health patient named Tina. As you are completing the Shadow Health: Health History assignment (see below), you will be able to ask Tina questions in order to gather information for the genogram. Consult Chapter 5, the Family History section and Figure 5-3, in the text for an example.
