they feel about their curr ent health status , and if they have any concerns. You will need to

include their health goals for the present as well as in the future. You could also include how

be included in this section. Be sure to identify anyone in the family with the specific diseases

listed in the last paragraph of the Family History secti on of your t extbook.

• The Review of Systems is all subjective data. There should be absolutely no objective findings

need to include in the RUA.

presence or absence of these resources has affected the person and their ability to meet their

health goals.

• In the reflection part of the RUA, you will have the opportunity to share how things went as you

conducted the health history interview. Don’t be skimpy or superficial here when you are

an swering the questions. You need to write more than “everything went well and I had no

problems.” Spend some time thinking about the entire process, what you learned from it , and

what you want to do next time around as well as what you want to make sure you don’t do

again.

• How you put your paper together is just as important as what you have include d in the paper.

poorly put together paper. Check out the Citation and Writing Assistance: Writing Papers at

Chamberlain University pa ge on the school library.
