Gordon's 11 functional health patterns describe a patient's health status before and after an event. Before, the patient had poor eating habits, did not exercise, avoided checkups due to COVID fears, slept poorly, and acted needy. After, the patient followed medical advice, turned in bed, consented to hospitalization, took naps, communicated needs appropriately, and prayed silently due to inability to attend church. The patterns provide an overview of the patient's lifestyle, behaviors, and health changes over time.
