Family
1.
The XYZ Family is a typical nuclear type of family consist of the father, Mr. ABC (not his real
name) who is a construction worker. Mrs. EFG (not his real name), a full time housewife and their
1 year old baby girl HIJ (not his real name). Mrs. EFG is currently 7 months pregnant and is
expected to give birth on the first week of June.
Mr. and Mrs. XYZ don’t have a hard time in terms of decision making because each of them tend
to consider each others opinion first before coming up with the final decision especially regarding
health matters. The father is the head and breadwinner of the family while the mother takes care
of the household chores and their first born baby girl Jane.
B. SOCIO-ECONOMIC and CULTURAL CHARACTERISTIC
Low educational background seems to be an obstacle for Mr ABC to get a good job. He never
finished elementary education and was forced to work as a construction worker receiving only
P250 per day. On the other hand Mrs. Jessica was fortunate enough to finish second year high
school but decided to stay at home to take good care of their first born child.
Mr. ABC’s monthly income is approximately P5,000 per month just enough to pay for their monthly
rent, electricity bill, food and milk allowance and transportation expense. Most of the time, the
budget for health maintenance is being sacrifice and not given enough priority due to lack of
money. According to Mrs. Jessica, she spends P150 per day to meet their daily basic needs
The XYZ’s are basically from Antique, Aklan. They migrated to Manila hoping for a better life, but
unfortunately they found out that the lifestyle in urban offers very little opportunities. The family is
not a member of any social organization in the community nor an a active member of the catholic
church.

Draw a floor plan with measurements
The family resides in a depressed area in Brgy. Visayan Village, Tagum City. Their house is made
up of wood and light materials. The floor area is approximately 6 sq. meters. The family sleeps
together in a wooden bed with foam situated near the entrance door which also serves as their
receiving area. They usually sleep very early at around 8 p.m. and wakes up at 7 a.m. The house
is not well ventilated and there is inadequate lighting. Breeding sites for mosquitoes, flies,
cockroaches, and rodents are inevitable due to open drainage and poor environmental sanitation.
Their toilet facility is located at the back of their house which they share with all the families in the
compound. There is no water supply in the area so Mr. ABC is force to fetch water 20 meters
away from their house and costs 2 pesos per container. Mrs. EFG buys their food in the market
and stores it in an uncovered cabinet leaving it exposed to germ and bacteria. She usually cooks
vegetable and fish dishes. The garbage is collected twice a week by a DPS truck.
Tricycles roam around as their means of transportation while public phone for communication are
available at the sari-sari store. Carinderia’s and mini-market are also visible within the vicinity.
The overall surrounding of the family is unhygienic and the drainage system is open and very
proximate to the houses. Only wooden walls separate them from their neighbors and the electrical
connections are entangled and hazardous.
D. HEALTH STATUS OF EACH FAMILY MEMBERS
Mrs. EFG is in a critical stage since she is seven months pregnant to her second child and is
expected to give birth on the first week of June. Her first pre-natal check-up was done three
months ago and was never repeated due to lack of time and awareness. According to her, she
had a hard time delivering her first child due to hypertension. She gave birth at home with the help
of a ”hilot“ and plans to do the same with the second child. Her first baby Jane is quite small for
her age, though, she was able to walk and stand at the age of 9 months. As of now she is already
learning how to speak.
She had already taken vitamins during the first three months of her pregnancy but wasn’t able to
sustain it due to lack of money. She had her first dose of TT1 last February during her pre-natal
check-up.
She feeds her baby girl HIJ 3 times a day with condensed milk and small amounts of solid foods
like a mashed potato and rice with soup.
Her husband Mr. ABC sometimes complain of severe pain at the back of his neck maybe as a sign
of hypertension and over fatigue but has no family history of hypertension in the family. The family
doesn’t use herbal medicine and goes to the health center when need arises.
