INTRODUCTION:
Nursing- includes a range of specialties and definitions that vary from country to country.
Community health nursing- a field of nursing that is a blend of primary health care and nursing practice with public health nursing.
Public health nursing- a field of nursing that is concerned with the health needs of the community as a whole. Public health
nurses may work with families in the home, in schools, at the workplace, in government agencies, and at major health facilities.

of the community by centering on the families constituting it.

B. ENTRY AND CLIMATE ACCEPTANCE
NOVEMBER 25, 2011
A sunny Friday when the group first visited the Jao Ville. The group looked for family that is capable and
qualified in their family care plan. At first, they felt the fear and worry because the group doesn’t know the people there.
The entire groups expected about those places are collective of people taking drugs and abusive. Then, they finally
found their chosen family and they saw the mother combing the hair of their daughter, the father is repairing the parts of
the bike, one of their children was playing on the sand and the group respectfully gave greetings “magandang umaga po”
and then the family happily replied “magandang umaga din”.
C. NUMBER OF ACTUAL HOME VISITS:
NOVEMBER 25, 2011
The entire group arrived at 7am going to 9TH street Marisol. It was the first time that the group went to that place
. Its unfamiliar environment welcomed them. Mam Carmelita Ramos and Mr. Antonio Tiqui grouped them into two.
The group went to Jao Ville and the group saw a big population and a huge number of children playing laro ng lahi on
the street. The groups were very shy because all of the people there are staring to them and a group of mothers were
murmuring while on them, the group felt that they were the topic but they continued walking and looked for a family.
DECEMBER 02, 2011
In the group’s 2nd visit. They documented some information such as vital signs of the present members.
That time the father and their three children are not at home. The father is a tricycle driver that’s why the groups are
difficulties interviewing him. The three children wasn’t around, the mother explained that they were not staying at home.
the mother and her two children gladly cooperated to them.
DECEMBER 07, 2011
In our 3rd visit, the group asked the family if they are feeling well or is there something wrong about their body.
After several talks and playing with the two children, we ask permission to the parents if we can personally bath the
children and the mother said yes and we started bathing them. After that the group helped the mother in cleaning their
backyard and they also help getting water from water pump in their neighbour.
DECEMBER 09, 2011
It’s our final visit in the family. The group did what was intended to do that day. They had their final
documentation and they added some tips about health. At last, their children were complete. So, the groups perform
the assessment to them. That was the first time the group meet the three children. The group really spends time to
them because that day will be the last time that they will be seeing them. The group cherish the last moment because
they learned a lot from them.

Values, Beliefs, Tradition, Cultural aspects and Relation to their health practices .
The family x believes in usog, tawas and albularyo. When one of the family member get sick they first bring them
to quack doctor instead of going straight to the medical doctor because they could not afford the doctor’s fee due to financial

within an area approximately adequacy of light. It has no vacant area and we pass through a narrow path way leading to
their house but they have front and side yard for the children to play.
Adequacy of living space
The house measured 4.36mx3.92m and the family is consisting of seven members five of them are adults and two are
children. Based on the computation for adequacy of living space the total floor area is 20.01sq.m and the TSR is 61sq.m making the
house crowded for the family of seven members since the total space requirement is greater than the total floor area.
The inadequacy of living space may result to easy transmission of communicable disease. All member of the family sleep together
one bedroom.
Breeding or resting sites of vectors of disease

there are cockroaches and other insects. Since the backyard and front yard is the garbage disposal, the flies and mosquitoes
flew around outside and inside of the house.

It is a health deficit since this is an actual health condition being experienced by the two children baby (ex1 and baby ex 2).

It is a health deficit because according to assessment made the weight of the children are below the ideal weight. It is partially modifiable the families are inadequate to address the problem although the student nurses could rendered health teachings to the family about the nutrient rich food which are inexpensive and could assist them in preparing meals properly to address the problem. This problem has a low preventive potential the mother tries her best to feed adequately their children but their financial problem is preventing her doing this.

It is a health threat because this type of condition predisposes the family to infection and spreading of the diseases. Contamination of the foods can cause disturbances to the growth of their children. It is partially or moderate modifiable, because proper health teaching came from the nurses can help them. They can also motivate and assist the family in cleaning their house and their surroundings. These such kind of problems requires the whole take drastic measures of fully eliminating the problem. Since the family X is used to this long time existing problem, health teaching may have an effect to their compliance of their problem. As well as the lack of necessary actions of the government decreases the potential of preventing this kind of problem. The family recognizes the condition as a problem, but they do not see it as something needs immediate attention. This situation cannot be charged immediately according to them and there are more important needs attention.
