Health Threat (HT) : Garces, Sherlyn M BSN 2B

The document provides an example of prioritizing health problems using a scoring system that considers four criteria: 1) nature of the problem, 2) modifiability, 3) preventive potential, and 4) salience of the problem. Three sample health problems are analyzed and given scores for each criteria, which are then totaled. Based on the scores, the ranked health problems from highest to lowest priority are: 1) Inadequate food intake (3.34), 2) Poor lighting and ventilation (2.58), 3) Unsanitary waste disposal (2.34). The highest scoring problem is considered the top priority problem to address.
