United States University Family Genetic Health Risks Analysis This assessment requires you to complete a Genetic/Genomic Nursing Assessment using the information found in your text on page 224, Box 8-7.

Brief health history of each family member (for example what health problems has each member encountered in his/her lifetime). Focus on any/all genetic diseases that may be present or those for which family members may be at risk.
Complete a reproduction history for relevant above identified family members
Describe the ethnic backgrounds of family member
Identify any growth and development variations of each member
State to what extent each family member understands the causes of their health problems
Relate what questions family members may have about potential genetic risks
Describe what nursing intervention strategies the family health nurse should relate to your selected family based on the obtained assessment
