The community health nursing faculty at Kent State University organized a family assessment instrument in accordance with the health pattern typology described by Gordon (1982). Students use the instrument with traditional and nontraditional families at every stage of the family life cycle. Reasons for initial visits to the families range from newborn health promotion to skilled nursing for acute and chronic conditions. The instrument helps students conceptualize the family as client and explore the concept of family nursing diagnoses.
肯特州立大学的社区健康护理教员根据戈登（1982年）描述的健康模式类型学组织了一种家庭评估工具。学生们在家庭生命周期的每个阶段，将该工具用于传统家庭和非传统家庭。家庭首次访视的原因从新生儿健康促进到急慢性疾病的专业护理不等。该工具帮助学生将家庭概念化为服务对象，并探索家庭护理诊断的概念。
