Answer & Explanation:Family Genetic History Family Genetic History Form.docx
Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Purpose
This assignment is to help you gain insight regarding the
influence of genetics on an individual’s health and risk for disease. You are
to obtain a family genetic history on a willing, nonrelated, adult participant.
Disclaimer
When taking a family genetic history on an actual client, it
is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the person you are
interviewing that they do NOT need
to disclose information that they wish to keep confidential. If the adult
participant decides not to share information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.”
Directions
1.
Refer to the examples in Chapter 4 of your textbook that discuss development
of a genogram.
2. Download the
NR305_Family_Genetic_History_Form from Doc Sharing. You will document the adult
participant’s family genetic history using this MS Word document.
3.
Complete the family genetic history using the information that the adult
participant is willing to share with you. The focus of this course is on the
normal “healthy” individual so your paper does not need to contain much
medical/nursing detail. Refer to your textbook or the Internet to learn what
impact the family’s health history may have on the adult participant’s personal
state of wellness both now and in the future.
This paper does
not require APA formatting, but you are expected to write clearly and use
proper grammar and spelling.
Developing a pictorial
genogram using symbols to identify certain relationships (e.g., divorced,
sibling, deceased, etc.), may provide more insight, however, drawing may be
difficult to accomplish with MS Word, therefore you are not expected to use
symbols, lines, or other drawing elements. Instead, describe the relationships
among the various people in the adult participant’s family’s genetic history.
Remember, the goal is not to learn how to draw with Word, but to gather
information about the family and recognize its significance to the adult
participant and that person’s health.
4. Save the completed
form by clicking on “Save as” and add your last name to the file name, e.g.,
“NR305_Family_Genetic_History_Form_Smith”.

1: Family Genetic History (35 points):
Develop a family genetic history that includes, at a minimum, three generations of your
chosen adult’s family, including grandparents, parents, and the adult’s generation. If the
adult has any children, include them as the fourth generation. **PLEASE NOTE: This
assignment is to reveal the potential impact of the family’s health on the adult
participant. You do not need to identify anyone who is not biologically related to the
adult except for a spouse or significant other.
You do not need to use symbols, but instead write brief descriptions for each person.
Each description should include the following information: first name, birthdate, death
date, occupation, education, primary language, and a health summary, including any
medical diagnoses. An example is below:
