STEPS IN DETERMINING VENTILATION

1. Determine the Total Floor Area in meters (TFA)
2. Get the area of the window opening in meters (TWO). If no window, measure the
door.
3. Apply the following formula:
Ventilation= TWO ——————- x 100
TFA Consider the following scale for the state of ventilation:
20% Satisfactory
18-19%
Fair 17- below Poor

Formulating the plan of Care

 Planning involves priority setting, establishing goals and objectives, and determining
appropriate interventions to achieve goals and objectives.
 Priority setting – determining the sequence in dealing with identified family needs and
problems.

Establishing Goals and Objectives

 Goal – Desired observable family response to planned interventions in response to a
mutually identified family need.
 Objectives – the desired step by step family responses as they work toward a goal. -
Workable, well-stated objectives should be:
SMART: - S: Specific - M: Measurable - A: Attainable - R: Relevant - T: Time bound

A. Nature of the Problem - Wellness state, health deficit, health threat and stress point/
foreseeable crisis.
B. Modifiability of the Problem - Probability of success in enhancing wellness state,
improving conditions, minimizing, alleviating or totally eradicating the problem.
Factors in determining modifiability of the problem
• Current knowledge, technology and interventions.
• Resources of the family
• Resources of the nurse
• Resources of the community
C. Preventive Potential - Nature or magnitude of the problem that can be minimized or
totally eradicated.
• Scoring Preventive Potential
1. Gravity or severity of the problem
2. Duration of the problem
3. Current management
4. Exposure of high-risk groups
D. Salience- Refers to the family's perception and evaluation of the problem in. terms of
seriousness and urgency of attention needed
