The Calgary-Cambridge model of assessment (Kurtz and Silverman 1996) was used to guide the practitioner through the health assessment process. The guide provides an easy-to-use structure that complements nursing 's traditional holistic assessment approach.

The bias associated with all three-assessment tools are; level of competency of the therapists assessing the test, the therapist selection of tools based on ease of administration and interpretation, and the patient’s response not answering the questions truthfully. Considerations for using these assessment tools with individuals from special/diverse populations, such as the client, must also be examined. Religious beliefs, and values, may be accustomed to the client’s lifestyle and habitation so it is vital that therapist’s prepare and learn about client’s cultural differences beforehand and provide the appropriate adaptations to intervention.

Midwives play an imperitive role when advising women on their care an it is exceptionally important to liase our information in a professional form. Guaranteeing the information is non-biased and informative allowing the women to have control on her decision making (NMC 2017). A quantitive research by Beglry (2010) agress that women who are in our care are to be considered as partners when deciding their plan of care. Within our role a professional relationship is central and women trust midwives deeply. I have found asking open-ended questions promotes and encoursges women to actively take part in the decision making.
I am inspired by the fast-paced and dynamic nature of these settings, where immediate interventions and skilled decision-making can have a significant impact on patient outcomes. Incorporating health assessment and history taking into my current role as I progress and develop my skills will be crucial in providing comprehensive and individualized care to my patients. By honing my assessment skills, I will be able to gather relevant data, identify health problems, and develop appropriate care plans. Moreover, thorough history taking will enable me to understand the patients' medical history, potential risk factors, and social determinants of health, which will inform my decision-making process and contribute to holistic

This can have a surprising result on a country.

This first global theme highlights parents’ experiences in relation to the medical care received by mothers during a second trimester miscarriage.
