Answer to Question 1

A
Marjory Gordon's Human Functional Health Patterns is not based on a particular theory of nursing but does provide a systematic framework for data collection that focuses on 11 functional health patterns. These patterns can be used in assessment of individuals, families, and communities. These functional health pattern areas allow gathering and clustering of information about a patient's usual patterns and any recent changes in order to determine if the patient's response is functional or dysfunctional.
