Genogram The health history is a very important part of a
health care puzzle. Understanding the family history provides information about
diseases that are familial. As you know, genograms are important in determining
how diseases affect families, and are pictorial representations of family
relationships and medical histories. As mentioned earlier, they are often used
to depict common diseases within a family. A genogram allows the user to
visualize hereditary patterns and can be useful in identifying repetitive
patterns of behavior and to recognize hereditary tendencies. For this
assignment, select a patient from your clinical experience whom you are
completing a subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) note on and
complete a genogram based on his or her family history. If you have not started
clinical practice, then select a non-family member and complete a family
history on him or her to complete a genogram. Write up the family history and
create and save a family genogram
