Mr. Pamaos has only used limited internal resources for solving his problem, he
has not used resources available to him. If he has sought help, his problem with his
kidney would already be solved. He tried to solve his kidney problem by using herbal
techniques for his earnings are only enough for food expenses and would not suffice
if he will buy for his medicines.

socio-economic adequacy, and his problem really needs immediate and outside help.
Given the client’s situation, though some of his physiological needs like food, clothing,
and shelter are provided by him as this was his first priority, his health has been
compromised for the reason that he is not able provide for his medical needs. Though

compensated, and that is the reason why he is suffering from severe kidney disease
at present.
