Identify one person from the illness group you chose in Week 1 to interview. The person should not be a patient at the facility in which you work. You can use friends, family members, or coworkers. Do not use the person's name in the paper, only initials.
Administer the questionnaire you created in Week 1 to that person and address the following:
• Compile the data and analyze the responses to better illustrate where this person, his or her family, and friends are in relation to accepting the diagnosis in relation to the standard health or illness definitions.
o The analysis should also include coping skills, treatment, and support aspects of the illness.
• Explain how this information will direct care plan development for the chosen illness group.
• Include a copy of the interview you created with the responses from the person interviewed in an Appendix.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE QUESTIONARE I USED IN WEEK ONE. THE CHRONIC ILLINESS I CHOSE IN WEEK ONE WAS DIABETES. HOPE THIS HELPS.
I can develop an alternative form that can help me gather information to prepare a care plan for diabetic persons, as shown in Table 1.
