Abstract

A family nursing care plan is the blue print of the care that the nurse designs to

systematically minimize or eliminate the identified health and family nursing problems through

explicitly formulated outcomes of care (goals and objectives) nd deliberately chosen set of

interventions, resources and evaluation criteria standards, methods and tools.

Features of Family Nursing Care Plan:

1. The nursing care plan focuses on actions which are designed to solve or minimize

existing problem. The plan is a blueprint for action. The core of the plan are the

approaches, strategies, activities, methods and materials which the nurse hopes will

improve the problem situation.

2. The nursing care plan is a product of a deliberate systematic process. the planning

process is characterized by logical analyses of data that are put together to arrive at

rational decisions. The interventions the nurse decides to implement are chosen from

among alternatives after careful analysis and weighing of available options.

3. The nursing care plan, as with all plans, relates to the future. It utilizes events in the

past and what is happening in the present to determine patterns. It also projects the

future scenario if the current situation is not corrected.

4. The nursing care plan is based upon identified health and nursing problems. The

problems are the starting points for the plan, and the foci of the objectives of care and

intervention measures.

5. The nursing care plan is a means to an end, not an end in itself. The goal in planning is

to deliver the most appropriate care to the client by eliminating barriers to family

health development.

6. Nursing care planning is a continuous process, not a one-shot-deal. The results of the

evaluation of the plan’s effectiveness trigger another cycle of the planning process until

the health and nursing problems are eliminated.

I. Introduction

A family nursing care plan is the blue print of the care that the nurse designs to

systematically minimize or eliminate the identified the identified health and family nursing

problems through explicitly formulated outcomes of care (goals and objectives) nd

deliberately chosen set of interventions, resources and evaluation criteria standards,

methods and tools.

The use of the family nursing process will result in a care plan describing the needs

and care for each client. An organized sequence of problem solving steps used to identify

and to manage the health problems of clients.

II. Background of the Study

A. Study Locale

About Barangay Talon Dos

Barangay Talon Dos in the City of Las Piñas was created on April 3, 1978 by

virtue of Presidentiable Decree No. 1335 signed by then President Ferdinand

Marcos.

Predominantly Residential Components

The decree ordered that the subdivisions of BF resort, Sta. Cecilia,

Sarino, Mother Earth and Camella be detached from the mother Barangay

Talon to form Barangay Talon Dos. Today this Barangay is composed of 26

residential villages and sectors.

Demography

Talon Dos is one of the twenty barangays of Las Piñas City with a

population of 47, 479 (2007 PopGen) and land area of 391.61 hectares. It is

situated on the southern side of the mid-section of Las Piñas. It is bounded

on the north by Zapote-Alabang Road and Barangay Pamplona Dos; on the

west by the Zapote River, Bacoor, and Cavite; on the east by Barangay Talon

Cuatro and on the south by Barangay Talon Cinco.

Health and Sanitation

Barangay Talon Dos provides health and nutrition and social welfare

services such as the Barangay Health Centers and Days Care Centers.

Page 6: Family Nursing Care Plan & Community Dx

Barangay Health Centers

Two health centers are found in BF Resort Village and Barangay Hall

compound provide primary health care for minor medical and dental

problems, immunizations and pre-natal care.

Day Care Centers

A Day Care Center is a community work place facility providing a full

barangay, in the cooperation with the Department of Agriculture conducts

annual anti-rabies vaccination of dogs.

Waste Management

The proper management of solids and wastes protects public health and the

environment; thus; Barangay Talon Dos does its part by composting and bio-

digesting “wet garbage.”

Talon Dos Waste Management Facility

“Wet wastes” collected from homes by the barangay biomen are

processed into compost as soil conditioners into biogas for cooking at the

Waste Management Facility in BF Resort Village. The facility is a project of

Sen. Manny Villar and Con. Cynthia Villar, in cooperation with Barangay

Talon Dos and BF Resort Village Homeowners Association.

is health, followed by education, house bills and then clothing. Their primary source of

income is the food business that Lucila is currently in. She earns about P13, 000.00 a month

(minus the rental fee and other expenditures in the food store). Other sources of income

include the tricycle business Herminia is in, where she earns P3, 000.00 monthly. When

Dante works as a FX driver he earns P20, 000.00 monthly, making their average monthly

income P36, 000.00. Now that Dante is currently jobless, the average monthly income they

earn as of now is P16, 000.00. The family’s monthly expenses reaches as much as P15,

000.00 – P20,000.00 monthly; making their earnings short for paying expenses.

The family recognizes the Barangay Captain as one of the first persons they know to

be leader of the community. Some of the projects that the community has are Clean and

Green Project, Proper Segregation Program and Lighting System. The family is aware of

these projects and are utilizing it.

materials and concrete. The house is well-ventilated and use electricity as a source of light.

The family’s source of drinking water is commercially prepared. They have their drinking

water delivered from a nearby water station. They store their drinking water in clean

bottles and pitchers which are usually covered. Their water supply is supplied by Nawasa,

and if water is not available, they have it delivered.

The type of toilet the family owns is a flush type toilet. The sewerage system is a

blind drainage and its condition is free flowing. The family practices waste segregation.

They used a covered trashcan as a container used for garbage collection. Garbage is

collected once a week, during Thursdays.

Herminia owns three love birds. She keeps them in a cage and feed them every day.

Roaches an flies are present in their household. They control these pests by using pesticide

to kill them. The health programs that are present in the community are free consultation

and weighing , EPI, Ligtas Tigdas, Well-baby clinic , pre-natal checkups, Anti-rabies vaccine.

The family is aware of the health programs present in the community but does not utilize it

at once. The first person that the family consults in times of illness is the neighbourhood

albularyo and they only consult the doctor whenever the illness becomes severe.

Formula for Ventilation:

Total window area (cm.sq)

X 100

Total floor area (cm.sq)

Total window area (TWA) = window length x window width

Total floor area (TFA) = floor length x floor width

Results:

Well ventilated: >20%

Fair: 18 – 19%

Poor: <17%

VI. Family Functional Assessment by Gordon’s

A. Health Perception-Health Management Pattern

1. History

The family’s general heath has been good in the last few years. The children

in the family experience cough and colds, but not very often. Hannah Grace and John

Oliver have also had fever 2 months ago, once at the same time during the Christmas

break. Luckily these illnesses didn’t affect the children’s school attendance. In cases

like these, Herminia and Lucila call their neighbourhood albularyo for help. They

only consult the doctor in cases where in sickness becomes severe. Lucila, started

having hypertension, September last year. She was given prescription by her

physician and has been taking her Diovan (Valsartan) medications for hypertension

80mg once a day, every day, since then as maintenance. The family takes vitamins to

keep themselves healthy.

9

Page 11: Family Nursing Care Plan & Community Dx

Herminia and Lucila also tidy the house daily to keep the house clean and

keep themselves away from an environment that may cause sickness to them. None

of the family members drink alcohol, take prohibit drugs or smoke. The children

have complete immunizations since they were 8 years old. The client states that it

has been easy to find ways to follow suggestions of doctors, nurses, social workers.

2. Examination

The general appearance of the family’s home environment is conducive to

their health. It is clean and tidy, has well-ventilation and lighting, and the family can

control the presence of pests and vectors such as flies and cockroaches. Lucila stores

the available medications at home in a safe place which is unreachable by her

children. She and Herminia make sure that hazards are eliminated such as knives on

the counters, are put back to their appropriate places so that they are out of reach to

the children.

With Dante jobless, they are worrying about the monthly expenses that they have to

pay for. Examples of things that may affect their mood are quarrels or

misunderstandings between their members, when the children become stubborn at

times and problems regarding finances.

13

Page 15: Family Nursing Care Plan & Community Dx

2. Examination

Hannah Grace S. Atienza Granddaughter 15 F Still Studying

Jay Marvin S. Atienza Grandson 14 M Still Studying

John Oliver S. Atienza Grandson 13 M Still Studying

The Atienza’s are an extended type of family. Regarding the family’s role-

relationship pattern, Herminia states that they sometimes get rough with the kids

and sometimes experience a hard time in disciplining them; most usually with

Hannah and Oliver. They may sometimes answer back at any of their elders. They

also find it hard to make Hannah and Oliver cooperate with helping in the household

during their free time. Herminia states that all they do sometimes is laze around all

day after doing their school activities. Jay is however a responsible child, sharing his

part in doing the household chores at home. However like Oliver, they may stay in

computer shop late up until midnight. Herminia also states that even though they

have a hard time in disciplining the kids, their relationship as brother and sister

remain equal.

I. Sexuality-Reproductive

1. History

Lucila and Dante are still sexually active. They say that their sexual

relationship is satisfying. The parents are using the BBT method for family planning

since Lucila is still not menopausal. They still don’t educate their children about

topics regarding sex and reproduction. They feel that it is inappropriate for them to

discuss that topic to their children.

J. Coping Stress Tolerance Pattern

1. History

The family is adjusting to the financial problem that they are currently facing. The family tries to help each other as possible. When family problems arise, the elders first discuss regarding what steps they will have to take in solving the problems, and then they will discuss these to the family members. They take things slowly and think of resolutions they may do to solve the problem. Lucila experiences hypertension once tension in situations rises. She resolves this by taking her Diovan medications, deep breathing and drinking plenty of water. The other family members only cool off for a moment and just try to relax to decrease the tension. When all members have cooled down, the family then goes back to discussion of how to solve the conflict. Herminia states that her methods are successful most of the time.

K. Values-Beliefs Pattern

1. History

The family members do not get everything they want because of current

financial problems. One of the parent’s goals is to let their children be able to get a

college degree, stay healthy and live a harmonious life. Only Herminia participates in

religious activities of the community, such as attending afternoon sessions of

praying the rosary at the community grotto. She and Lucila try their best to get

Dante and the kids attached to religion. They usually go to Church every Sunday

afternoon. Religion is very important to them once problems arise since they call

God and ask for guidance to help them during crisis in the family arises.
