Problems in Family Nursing Practice. There are two major
Typology problem in nursing practice. First is first level of
assessment and second level of assessment. These two
typologies of nursing problem in the community is to determine
the nature of the problem. It is important for us to know the nature
of the problem in terms of identifying which problem we will not be
able to identify one problem, there are several problems we
encounter. Under the first level of assessment, identify if the
family has the present of Wellness Conditions, Health Deficit,
Health Threat and stress point. In wellness condition, basically
good traits any good activities to maintain healthy living. Second
is health deficit, there is instances of failure in health
maintenance. Example of health deficit is illness states if one
member of the family has diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or
disability. Third is health threat, basically any condition that will
make a person vulnerable to develop certain disease, accident or
failure to realize one’s health potential. Example of that is
smoking, if the person is a smoker there is a possibility threat of
certain disease. The last is stress point is an anticipated period of
usual demands or the individual or family in terms of adjustments
or family resources. Example for that marriage, pregnancy labor,
these are basically developmental changes that will bring about
stress condition or stressful situation.
Next is second level of assessment. Identifies the nature or type
of nursing problems the family experiences in the performance of
their health tasks with respect to certain health condition or health
