Abstract
This assessment was performed on a 41 years old female with an average health. The patient is having some right hip pain and some limited ROM. She was a pleasant woman with a great understanding of her own health and her family health history. CK is slightly overweight, smokes and does not exercise enough. She is the mother of two children and the wife to RK for 15 years. Her mother is still alive and in healthy condition and has no surviving grandparents. CK has 2 brothers and no sisters. Her culture does not influence her life style nor does it cause her to perform in any health related rituals. After completion of the assessment, CK is aware of her risk factors and is taking action to correct these.
Introduction
CK was born on December 7, 1970 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL to JH and NH. Her family moved to NJ when she was three, shortly before the birth of her first brother. She is one of three, with two younger brothers. Her parents raised them in Bayville, NJ where her father died at the age of 39 due to a fatal heart attack. Her mother and father did not keep in close contact with their extended family. She had her first child at the age of 17, was married at the age of 26, and had her second child at the age of 27. She is currently the office manager for Toms River Cardiology Associates in Forked River, NJ. She has been employed there for 18 years. She attended a year or so of college around the age of 25, but she has not completed her nursing degree that she was initially working on. Her husband and herself own the home they live in and are financially comfortable with their lifestyle.
CK has had some minor health issues in the past years but nothing that she feels is detriment to her life. While she has Diverticulosis and Bi-Polar 2 disorder (Manic Depression), she is not currently suffering from any symptoms. She
