Nurses assess health perceptions through various methods, including:
1. Patient Interviews: Asking open-ended questions about how patients view their health. 2. Health Surveys: Utilizing standardized questionnaires to gauge overall health perceptions. 3. Observation: Noting non-verbal cues and behaviors that may indicate a patient’s health beliefs. 4. Medical History Review: Understanding past health issues and treatments to contextualize current perceptions.
