Gardon’s Functional Health Patterns

This is a method that was devised to aid the nurses in their practice as they seek to ensure
comprehensive assessment of a patient (Ralph et.al, 2005). There are various patterns as
discussed below;
Health perception and management is the first pattern and it involves the perceived
health pattern of the patient. It also involves the manner in which the health of the patient is
managed. An example of this pattern is regular exercise. The second pattern is the nutritional –
metabolic. This is the pattern of food consumption that relates to the metabolic needs. The
conditions of hair, teeth, skin, mucous membranes, and weights are some of the examples.
