ngs sya may gamut para di lumala ang kanyang sakit. Si papa ang isa din nagpapaalala palagi

pinagdadasal na maging normal na yung blood pressure nya.

Problem 2
1. Inability to provide adequate nursing care to the sick/ at risk member of the family due
to Lack of the necessary equipment and supplies of care.
“Di namin ma-monitor regularly ang blood pressure ni mama dahil wala kaming BP
apparatus,Yun nga yung di nya din makontrol ang kanyang sarili, minsan nagagalit o di kaya
nakakakain ng bawal”
2. Inability to provide adequate nursing care to the sick/ at risk member of the family due
to inadequate knowledge about the health condition (nature,
severity, complications, prognosis and management)

ang mga bawal at hindi”
Jay stated that although his mother is aware of her condition, she still needs to be reminded all
the time. He also stated that apart from the reminders, he doesn’t know what else to do to help
his mom. They do not have a BP apparatus to monitor the blood pressure regularly hence hey
weren’t able to monitor her condition. The rest of the family is worried about their mom, and it
affects their daily lives because it is their mom who does most of the chores and supervises them
what to do.
