The last part for Health Promotion and Maintenance is
Self-Care
Techniques of Physical assessment and
Health Screening
Self care has to do with how well the patient can manage their own health care. Can they do activities of daily living (ADL) or not. If they can’t, what kind of assistant might they need. Is is something family / friends can help with, or do we need to help them find a way to do it. IMPORTANT note – sometimes patients will tell you what you want to hear. They may actually lie about their family situation.
