2 HEALTH ASSESSMENTAdditional information from Maria’s physical examination and Health assessment From Maria’s health assessment she has disclosed that she is a 40 year old mother of two, she loves to eat and cook food of Hispanic heritage. She is also a nursing student and she maintains the household all by herself. The chief complain that brought her to the clinic is she has noticed she is gaining weight at an alarming rate since she started nursing school. On physical examination her general appearance looks normal[ CITATION Car16 \l 1033 ]. Additional informational I would gather from her is her past medical history, her family history, her obstetric history and her family planning history. I would also enquire about her lifestyle which includes her eating routine and exercise routine. I would want to know what she does when not in school and her social life, if she belongs to any social groups or not. I would also measure her weight, height, blood pressure and blood sugar in order to calculate her body mass index.
