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.

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.
4

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.

and Kapampangan.
Dante D. Atienza Jr. (Herminia’s son) is a 38 year old father of three children. He was
born on May 19, 1971 and is 38 years old. He worked as an FX driver, but is currently not
working. He is helping his wife managing the food store where his wife is working. His wife,
Lucila S. Atienza, 47 years old, is a high school graduate who was born on October 30, 1963.

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.
V. Home and Environment
Herminia owns the land and house they are living at. The house is made of light
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
8
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
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.

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

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.
