HEALTH TEACHING PLAN

(revised 2021)

ASSESSMENT OF THE FAMILY:

The family Gonzales, consisting of 3 individuals aged, 20, 45, and 51 is observed to be living in unsanitary conditions i.e. dirty floor, and no proper
disposal of garbage within home. Furthermore, the kitchen is highly ventilated with a breeze that passes from the backyard containing livestock i.e. 4
chickens, and 2 pigs making the kitchen vicinity prone to the accumulation of flies, as well as other microorganisms that may have invaded via the aid
breeze, or other means.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (n.d.) mentions the risk of keeping poultry in the confines of a backyard, as handling livestock
increases an individual’s susceptibility to zoonotic diseases, especially when proper hand washing is not practiced.

The World Health Organization (n.d.) explains that the common housefly naturally feeds on food-wastes or left over organic products, and lives in
close proximity to humans, since these organisms behaviour entails the exposure to decomposing waste, they transport a significant number of disease causing
agents leaving areas saturated with flies unhealthy to live in. Thus, it is of utmost importance to remove catalysts that may aid with their proliferation i.e. dung
(animal faeces), garbage and waste from cooking or processing food, sewage, organic manure, and accumulated plant matter.

NURSING DIAGNOSIS:
Knowledge deficit related to lacking cleanliness, and sanitization of home.
Risk for contamination related to unsanitary living conditions.

GOAL:
The Gonzales family will be able to acquire basic knowledge on proper sanitation and demonstrate hygienic practices.
TOPIC: Sanitation and Proper Food Handling
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the discussion, the
Gonzales family will be able to:
1. Define the following
terms:
- Sanitization
- Microorganisms
- Food Handling
- Cleaning
- Disinfection

potentially pose a health risk. 10:10 am)
Microorganisms definition
-An organism that can be seen only through a
microscope. Microorganisms include bacteria, protozoa,
algae, and fungi. Although viruses are not considered living
organisms, they are sometimes classified as
microorganisms.
Food Handling definition
-Any aspect of the operations in the preparation,
transport, storage, packaging, wrapping, exposure for sale,
service, or delivery of food.
Cleaning definition
-is the removal of foreign material (e.g., soil, and

accomplished using water with detergents or enzymatic

Disinfection definition
-describes a process that eliminates many or all
pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores, on
inanimate objects
IMPORTANCE -Visual Aids ( Flip Charts)
Sanitization is essential to maintaining a healthy Lecture-
environment and the prevention of diseases. Having good Discussion
sanitization is fundamental to social and economic (10:10 am - 10:15 am)
development. That is why one must understand and learn
about the concept of sanitization.
DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS Lecture- -Visual Aids ( Flip Charts)
When living in unsuitable conditions, health risks are Discussion
evident, considering that a person’s home is where they (10:15 am - 10:25 am)
spend most of their time to eat, sleep, etc. their daily
activities may be affected by the proliferation of infectious
or disease causing agents within the environment:
● bacteria
● viruses
● protozoa

efficiency in keeping home

5. Independently practice
cleanliness, and sanitization
within the household.

SIMPLE STRATEGIES Lecture- -Visual Aids (Flip charts)
Creating a strategy is a step to creating good habits within Discussion

for the individuals within the said home to do.
● Leaving shoes/slippers at the door
● Having dedicated trash bins for appropriate rooms,
and a large bin outside of the house
● Designating a family member to take out the trash
every 2-3 days or when trash is full
● Cleaning the kitchen after use
● Not leaving dishes in the sink

EVALUATION:
● The client will be able to verbalize understanding of sanitation within household: Met
● The client will be able to keep their household clean, practice sanitizing, and maintenance of their home: Partially Met
● The client family was able to practice basic hygienic practices, treatment and management of unsanitary areas: Met
