INTRODUCTION
a. OVERVIEW
A famous web-based dictionary defines that a family denotes a group of people

affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, and co-residence. Although the concept of
consanguinity originally referred to relations by "blood," many anthropologists have
argued that one must understand the notion of "blood" metaphorically, and that many
societies understand 'family' through other concepts rather than through genetic
distance.
Many sociologists and anthropologists believe the primary function of the family is to
reproduce society, either biologically, socially, or both. Thus, one's experience of one's
family shifts over time. From the perspective of children, the family is a family of
orientation: the family serves to locate children socially, and plays a major role in their
enculturation and socialization. From the point of view of the parent(s), the family is a
family of procreation the goal of which is to produce and enculturation and socializes
children. However, producing children is not the only function of the family; in societies
with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between two
people, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household.
After how many days of duty as a community health nurse, we were able to
identify a family for a family care study. These provided us a knowledge,
understanding, and information on basic community health approaches basing on actual
care. It also improves the health condition of the individual family members, through
providing information.
Sili-Sili Kisol, Pagatpat was our community; the people residing there are mostly
farmers and who earn from their farm for a living.
We choose family “ Caliso ” as our family case study because its status in terms
of health status, income which should be below 8thousand pesos and a child for IMCI
fits in the criterion that was given as our guide in choosing a family, and because they
1
are suitable to be given with attention, since they have a member in their family which is
Mr. W. Caliso, who is the head of the family needs further care and management
because of the health problem he has.
B. Objectives of the Study
It is the objective of this study to present the highlights of the community exposure Sili-sili
Kisol, Pagatpat, Cagayan de Oro City. More importantly, it aims to:
● Introduce the condition of the family chosen as the subject for care which are
focused on Children below 5 years old--- their health problems, the family’s
available resources and their attitude towards change.
● It also aims to present the various interventions employed by the student

nurses with every discovered and observed health concern.
● Furthermore, it is its goal that the family care plan formulated and constructed
for the family may meet the family’s needs, priorities and resources well so
that it may cause the greatest possible improvement in both the health and
home condition of the family.
C. Scope and Limitations

The scopes of the study are as follows:
• The family must be a resident Sili-sili Kisol, Pagatpat, Cagayan de Oro City.
• The family must be assessed and cared for by the group for at least 5 visits.
• The group must have the consent coming from the family to make them the subject of
the study.
• The scope of the study includes the family member’s personal and health profile and
spot map of their residence, the chief complaint of the family member with a health
problem and the family members, the history of present illness of the member with a
health problem, the nursing assessment, the family coping index, the schematic
diagram of the family health problem, the integrated management of childhood illness,
2
the family health plans, the nursing care plans for the member with a health problem
and the actual implementation of different interventions given to the family.
• The different references were also part of this study, which encompasses the use of the
different community health nursing books, nursing care plan books and other sources
which served as guide throughout the study.
The limitations of the study are as follows:
• Interaction with the family was limited to 5 days only.

• The interaction was limited only within the community and the residence of the family.
• The information gathered were based on the testimonies of the informants, and the
client which may be subject for further critique in terms of its validity and reliability
• The information gathered were based on the testimonies of the informants, and the
client which may be subject for further critique in terms of its validity and reliability
II. Spot Map
We, the NCM501205 students, had the community duty in the different areas
of Pagatpat Cagayan de Oro Cty. Our Group, Group10 under the supervision of
Ma’am Dao-ayan, had the community exposure in Sili-sili Kisol, Pagatpat, Cagayan
De Oro City. Since the area of our exposure is away from the school we rented the
jeepney in an amount of Php 700.00. Group10 is composed of 15 members, each
group member paid Php 46/day for three days per week (every Thursday, Friday
and saturday). From our meeting place at LDCU, it took about 30 minutes by way of
chartered jeepney. We left the said area at exactly 7:30 am so that we will arrive at
the community area before 8:00 am.

spontaneous vaginal delivery (August 5, 1971). Mrs. R.C was not able also to recall if she had
any immunizations during her childhood years. She gave birth to her first child at NMMC and
her second, third and fourth child at home through normal spontaneous vaginal delivery

S.C is the youngest child in the family. He was born through normal spontaneous vaginal

Relationship to the neighbors Good Harmonious relationship
1.) Housing
29
The family is living in a poorly constructed house where there was no organization of
settlement inside the vicinity. Construction materials used were light materials – made of wood.
The family with 5 members has 2 bedrooms. Sherwin sleeps with his father and mother and
Irene and Winston shares the other room. They are prone to accidents since I observed that
there were nails left not fully hammered; their dirty kitchen’s roof is too short that, if they were
not careful enough, they might be in jeopardy. Their floor is made up of soil that makes them
more prone to any types of infection especially that it will be muddy if it is raining. They used
electricity as their lighting facility.
2.) Water supply
Their water source is the Deep Well used by the community. They used it for washing their
clothes and watering their plants. But when it comes to drinking water, they have to buy it in the
sari-sari store for 30 pesos per gallon. At times the water is contaminated and prone to cholera
disease and even among other water-borne disease. Their storage is through the use of galloon
that is covered, and stocked for 3 days or more approximately.
30
3.) Kitchen
The family used woods when cooking their foods, their kitchen was slightly cluttered with
the presence of unwashed dishes and soiled clothing, and they have a proper drainage facility.
Initially the main problem of the barangay was water supply and source. The people were used
with deep well. Even though the outbreak of diarrhea was rare still their health is at risk.
4.) Sanitation Condition
The community does not have proper drainage system and even garbage disposal.
During rainy season their surroundings is muddy and impassable and that can lead to skin
diseases. They have a pig and is smelly especially if Mrs. Racquel forgets to clean the area
because sometimes she is busy.
5.) Toilet System
31
It’s a water sealed type of toilet facility. It is connected to their house at the back portion,
the walls are made out of coconut lumber and the base is concrete. Sanitary condition is poor
since there is no direct water supply.
6.) Garbage System
Their only means of disposing their garbage is to burn it or burry it to the hole which they
dig up. But it overflows with water during rainy days.
7.) Drainage System
32
The community has a poor drainage system. As the student nurses assess the entire
community, they had find out that their existing drainage backs flow and causes the garbage to
spread anywhere. It is basically their problem especially during rainy season.
8.) Kinds of Neighborhood
The family has a good relationship to their neighbor. But they had a neighbor who had a
piggery fronting their house and the smells was not good and they can’t complain about it
because they were avoiding a possible conflicts.
IV. FAMILY COPING INDEX
The objective of this indicator is to present a benchmark for approximating the nursing
needs of a particular family, thus Family Coping Index. It is the coping capacity and not the
underlying problem that is being rated, and it is designed to record family rather than individual
coping capacity. In public health nursing, the family cannot be seen only factor that affects
health; rather, the family is the patient.

X. Actual Implementation
On the first day of our exposure at Brgy. Sili-sili Pagatpat, we conducted a courtesy call
and followed by ocular survey. In view of the fact, we have still enough time to scout a family in
which we can make our family case study.
45
At the time in which we had selected our family, we followed the standard protocol of
home visit, which we had introduced ourselves, we state the purpose of our visit and thus
rapport was initially established. We gathered data through interview by asking the name of the
family members including individual profile, observed the area and the surroundings that may be
cause of disease.
On the second day of visit, the student nurse conducted direct physical assessment to
include the immunization records, vital signs taking, height and weight. We had also conducted
interview including the present and history of health of each member, and we also observed the
nonverbal cues of the mother. There are several health problems and family nursing problems
identified as mentioned above.
On our third day of duty we went to the family and assess further on their health and
environmental conditions and at the same time conduct preliminary health and environmental
teachings. We shared different health teachings in terms of promotions, preventions, and cure in
order for them to cope up with their daily problems that had able to affect their health. The
following health teaching we had given includes maintenance of cleanliness of their house as
will as their environment, screening of doors and windows and using nets or long clothing
covering the body when sleeping, cover water containers to prevent breeding sites of victors
and proper waste segregations. On the other hand we stressed the importance of following
treatment such as strict compliance of medications. If not so the use of alternative medicines
such as “bawang” could somehow health control hypertension.
During our fourth and last visit we do our termination phase, we thank the family for
letting us have them as our family care study.
RECOMMENDATIOIN AND REFFERAL
During our visits with our chosen family for our family care study we have known that Mr.
W.C. was hypertensive and has maintenance medication prescribe by the physician, but
unfortunately he was not able to take the medications due to financial problems. We discuss to
them the importance of therapeutic regimen including the different foods that needs to be
46
avoided, and encouraged him as well to have a monthly checked of his blood pressure. Other
than that we also found out that E.C had occasional asthma. We discouraged him to play with
pets specially cats and dogs ,and those pets with feathers, that can trigger the attack of his
asthma. Other health teachings imparted were about proper environmental and personal
hygiene. We recommended them to give priority with their health maintenance by taking a bath
everyday , cleaning the environment , disposing their garbage accordingly, proper toilet and
proper drainage system because an individual cannot perform task effectively if they are sick
due to health problem.
EVALUATION
The study and activity served as an eye opener for the families that we have chosen. We
are one of the strangers that had come to their lives and then we became part of it. And as part
of it we became involved with their lives especially when it comes to their health and present
conditions in which we want to modify change and enhance.
With the knowledge that we had acquired from our AHSE 2 up to the present,
techniques were developed to identify health problems and threats, family problems as well as
social and political problems. Some of those aspects are poorly handled, and that’s the time that
we started to intervene to give guidance and interventions that could help their family become
better as well as a role model to their community. And with those interventions and health
teachings, slowly we can see the change that we want to see from them. The problem now is
their maintenance, but we think that if they like the result of the change that they went through,
they’ll surely practice and maintain a healthy living.
On our part, the study gave as the opportunity to explore more ways on how to be
effective in giving health teachings to our family. Patient was also our foundation. And most of
all it help us to be more mature and wise in terms of dealing with our daily lives.
47
XII. Evaluation
At the end of 6 weeks CHN exposures and 5-7 days of nursing interventions, the Amerol
Family was very accommodating to us. They appreciate our efforts on emphasizing health
teachings and encourage them to visit or seek medical assistance as soon as possible for their
son. The baby is possible for hydrocephalus illness as discuss above. This is to prevent further
complications of the baby since his immunization is not yet complete due to altered immune
system.
PROGNOSIS, REFERRALS AND FOLLOW-UP

Prognosis varies depending on how long the condition has been
identified and what other underlying conditions that already occur already
prior to admission. Early detection plays an important role on the treatment
and recovery of a sick individual. No matter what type of illness it may be,
48
for as long as it has been detected immediately and therefore managed
properly, complications maybe prevented.
In connection with our patient, H.M has indeed a good prognosis; as a

matter of fact she already had orders of discharged from her attending
physician. She stayed in the hospital for quite some time. During her hospital
days she had able to underwent a series of painful laboratory test like
complete blood count ( CBC ) to be specific, in order to monitor her platelet
count, and as well as other medications that needs to be given
intravenously.
Fortunately she had able to surpass all the treatments and

medications that are necessary for her to fully recover from the illness. It is
not the first time that she have had dengue fever, it’s definitely her third
time, so we had emphasized on our health teaching specifically to the
mother, the essence of prevention, of how relevant it is specially for those
disease that are preventable, just like dengue fever.
DISCHARGED PLAN
49
MEDICATION We had instructed the mother to strictly follow therapeutic
regimen even if the patient was already discharged, and as
well as the importance of complying home medications with
right dosage, right timing of administration with
precautionary measures including the side effects of the
medications that were prescribed by the physician.
EXERCISE In her age exercising is not a problem, since the patient is

still a child, but we still reminded the mother to be extra
careful with the type of environment the child is exposed,
especially that she had already been infected with dengue
not just once but three times already. And more importantly
to set limits with the activities of the child nowadays that
she have had just came from the hospital and as well as the
importance of rest periods in order to fully recover from the
illness.
TREATMENT During our health teaching with the mother, we specifically

emphasized to take preventive measures regarding the
causative agent of the disease. That environment is one of
the factors that contributed a lot with the illness. Dengue
fever is a preventable disease; it is therefore can be
avoided.
OUT-PATIENT We instructed the mother of the child to be back on the

scheduled follow up checked up with the physician in order
to prevent any possible complications and that full recovery
of the child will be achieved.
DIET We encouraged the mother to prepare foods that are rich in

proteins, vitamins and minerals such as green leafy
vegetables, fruits and eggs and other meat and poultry
products in order to regain patient’s health and therefore
can back with her normal life before hospitalization
happened.
