Functional Health Assessment
Question One
From the functional health assessment, Jane who is the client is exposed to various health risks although she is undergoing treatment. First, Jane is already exposed to the risk of diabetes type 2. She is suffering from the sickness which from the assessment, it is claimed that the condition was inherited. To affirm the inheritance conclusion, it is reported that her husband died of the same condition. Secondly, malnutrition is another health risk noted from the functional health assessment. Jane says that she stays alone because her two children and grandchildren stay away from her. For this reason, Jane mostly eats Pizza, Sodas, and coffee. The diet that she engages in is not advisable to someone who has diabetes since it increases the risks of the condition. …show more content…

The model encompasses five stages as discussed below.
Pre-contemplation (Not Ready); in this stage, the patient is not always ready to take any action about any foreseeable future health risk. For instance, in the situation of Jane, she could have taken action if she knew that the diabetic condition was hereditary in her family (Prochaska, 2013).
Contemplation (Getting Ready); the second stage comes after six months. In this stage, the client realizes the need to change his/her behavior towards the condition (Prochaska, 2013).
Preparation (Ready); here, the patient is ready to seek help in the due process of reducing the risks posed by the health condition (Prochaska, 2013).
Action; the patient in this stage decides to go to the hospital for prescriptions and assistance on his/her health status. The patient undergoes the required tests in connection to the condition so as to give the right medication (Prochaska,

Ian Tancred. Heron created the six-stage category intervention model, which is a useful aide between patient and carer. These six-stages were further subdivided into two interventions these being authoritative (prescriptive, informative, confronting) and facilitative (cathartic, catalytic and supportive).

An example of authoritative care would be asking the patient to look left, right, up and down when examining their injured eye.
