CHN 1- FAMILY HEALTH NURSING PRACTICE

LEARNING ACTIVITY (Midterm)

This is a GROUP LEARNING TASK: compose of 3 members.

Instruction: Please analyze the case scenario and accomplish the following tasks listed below:

We met the family for the first time last March 20,2019 at, Cagayan de Oro City. Their geographical location is
readily accessible because you don’t to ride a “trisikad” in order for you to locate the place; instead, we took a
walk in order for to reach the place.

The head of the Family is a security guard from the Sagittarius Agency and currently working at Gusa, Mindanao
Tracking Corporation and earns at approximately Php 7,000 per month regardless with the expenses at home
and daily needs. The husband seldom drinks alcohol and smoke because of his night duty shift while Flordeliza is
a housewife; focus is to take care of their 5 children especially their youngest son who always acquire illnesses.

When it comes to their ethnic background, the husband is purely Kagay-anon while the wife is from Talakag,
Bukidnon. They are currently residing at San Roque Seaside, Cotabato City. The rest of the members of the
family speak Visayan. The family’s significant others are their in-laws, siblings of the husband and their children
who lived next to their home. The role of their significant others is to help them in times of need just like
emotional and most especially during financial problems. The family participates in the activities of the
community like feeding programs; outreach programs and community clean-up of the environment.

The family’s living space is inadequate for their number. It has one room in near their kitchen for the couple and
small portion upstairs for their five children. All the children sleep together in one room including the 2-year old
boy. The family’s furniture is enough for their needs. They have one table, small cabinet for their TV and DVD
and small sofa for their visitors but their kitchen utensils do not sustain their needs. Their house has a plenty of
insects such as flies, rats, ants, especially mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are present day and night. Rats is as big as
small cats but they don’t do any precautionary measures in order to eliminate or even reduce these rodents.
The house is made of light materials. They cooked their foods inside the house using liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) but sometimes if they ran out of LPG, they used to cook their food inside the house using the “kahoy”
located in the ground beside the wall. This can cause fire and considered as hazardous to well-being of all the
members of the family. The wirings are too close to each other that might result to a short circuit that will
eventually lead to fir The house is always affected by flood due to its location and structure since their house is
not elevated, thus, causes the water to go inside and flood their things inside. They do not have their own water
supply. The source of their drinking water is from the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD), government own
free for the residents in their place. They wake up early and gather some water and store it in the plastic
container, which is slightly dirty. The family does have a toilet of their own but it somewhat unsanitary. It is open
and located at the corner of their kitchen beside the unprotected stairs. It is water –sealed type of toilet with
black dirt surrounded on it. The only barrier to their toilet from the other parts of the house is the bathroom
curtains only, thus, when someone defecates, all the family members will know because they can smell the not-
so-fragrant smell.

1. Briefly describe the family characteristics (one paragraph)
a. Socio-cultural
b. Home and environment
c. Health and Medical history
2. Does the family utilize disease preventive actions? If yes, what are they?
3. What are their perception of the role of the health professional and their services? What are their
expectations of the services of the community health? Nurse?
 The family member sees the healthcare professional and their services as part of their health
awareness, and they see the healthcare professional as a role model who can influence them as
well as teach the people in the community about health protection and a healthy lifestyle. Their
expectation of community health services is that they will be informed about health education
and taught about healthy lifestyles and healthy living. They also expect the community health
nurse to provide the care that they require and to provide guidance on health behaviors.
4. Do they have previous experience with the health professionals? If yes, were they satisfied with the
results?
 According to what I've read, they don't have prior experience in health professionals because
their daily living conditions aren't so clean, sanitary, and organized. And I believe they do not
prioritize their health because if they do, their situation will not look like that. They should be
cautious and avoid those who will have an adverse effect on their health, particularly their life.
They must protect themselves from any disease that may encounter them, and they must
prioritize their health above all else.

5. Enumerate Family health conditions/problems identified (at least 3)

 Presence of vectors such as rats and mosquitoes
o Mosquitoes are a major problem because they are present day and night which can
transmit diseases such as dengue, malaria, and yellow fever, whereas rats are the size
of a small cat and can transmit leptospirosis because their area is prone to flooding.

6. Describe priorities based on 4 criteria, apply score with Justification.
