Health visiting is one of the aspects of the healthcare industry. The concept of health visiting began long ago during the time of Florence Nightingale in the 1800s (Adams, 2012). Health visitors have different roles compared to nurses. Their primary responsibilities include providing health education to promote health among infants, their families, and in the communities. Over the past century, the role of health visitors has evolved from addressing matters concerning sanitation and infectious diseases to addressing chronic illness concerns in people's homes and communities (Adams, 2012). Health visiting focuses on four main principles, which include influencing laws that affect people's health needs, stimulating their awareness of and search for health needs, and facilitating activities that enhance people's health (Adams, 2012). This essay focuses on how a health visitor can employ interpersonal and communication skills during a health visit to try and educate Sophia on her health needs and those of her child.
