HEALTH PROMOTION PLAN 2
Introduction
Integrated health promotion is a critical strategy for enhancing health outcomes or
individuals, families, and communities. Health promotions are essential in preventing genetic
diseases. This assignment involves the development of health promotion and disease
prevention plans for a client's real or perceived health risks, and family risk factors based on
an analysis of his case history and genogram. The aim is to establish a combination of
strategies and interventions that will enhance the well-being and health of the individual to
achieve quality patient outcomes. The objective is achieved in four major sections namely
identification of risks or issues, development of a health promotion plan, evaluation of the
plan and integration of
Identification of Issue
The brown family has various genetic traits, including autosomal recessive (sickle cell
anemia) and dominant (Huntington disease), along with X linked recessive (colorblindness)
and X linked dominant (epilepsy). The pro-band is affected by colour blindness, an X-linked
recessive gene, which he inherited from the mother. The mother was a carrier, and she
transferred colour blindness to the pro-band. The pro-band also passed the colour blindness to
his daughter, who is a carrier.
Based on the information in the genogram, the maternal family pattern demonstrates
the passing on of sickle cell anaemia and colour blindness across generations. While the
mother of the pro-band is a carrier of colour blindness, the mother's siblings, including
aunties and uncles, are carriers of sickle cell anaemia, which they inherited from the pro-
band's maternal grandparents, who were both carriers of sickle cell anaemia. Therefore, the
daughter of the pro-band is a carrier of colour blindness and sickle cell anaemia. With regard
to the paternal family pattern, the pro-band's paternal grandfather suffered from Huntington
