The family structure of the given scenario is primarily categorized as a nuclear family, also known as the primary or elementary family.
The family is composed of a mother which Mrs. Jocelyn Concepcion and her husband as the father of the family. They also have their dependent
children which are Sean, Patrick, Philip, and Ella. In accordance with the descent of the family, it was not mentioned or described in the given
scenario if it was identified as patrilineal, matrilineal, or bilateral. In accordance with the authority, it was mentioned that the breadwinner of
the family or who provides the money is the husband while Mrs. Jocelyn is in charge of budgeting the family expenses and does the household
chores. Lastly, in accordance with the place of residence, the family is neolocal. The family does not reside with the groom or bride’s parents
but they reside independently of their parents which means they can decide on their own as far as their residence is concerned.
GENOGRAM:
1. Frequent drinking of alcohol
Frequent Drinking of Alcohol is a health threat since its long-term health consequences can lead to the development of chronic diseases
and other major issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive issues over time. Breast, mouth, throat,
esophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum cancers are all prominent. Also, this health problem was assessed since the father was said to have
a vice which is frequent drinking of alcoholic beverages which led to their debts in the store.
The second level assessment is the inability to make decisions with respect to taking appropriate health action due to failure to
comprehend the nature, magnitude/scope of the problem since the denial about its existence or severity as a result of fear of consequences of
diagnosis of problem, specifically health consequences.

1. Have enough knowledge about the health risk of frequent drinking of alcohol
2. Develop and Improve Strategies to Prevent Alcohol Misuse
3. Recognize that frequent drinking of alcohol may lead to alcoholism
Family size beyond what family family can adequately provide is a health threat since earning less than what the family needs can be the
root of many problems some of which are malnutrition, late detection of health deficits of present, and insufficient care for the sick member/s of
the family. Also, in accordance with the typology of nursing problem, this health problem is classified under health threat. Also, this health
problem was assessed since the father’s monthly income of P8,000 for 6 members of the family is not enough for their needs.
The second level of assessment is the inability to provide a home environment which is conducive to health maintenance and personal
development due to inadequate family resources specifically financial constraints or limited financial resources and lack of or inadequate
knowledge of preventive measures.
The family has inadequate resources to sustain the needs of each member. While lack of knowledge is evidence by the number of children, and
their age gap is too short for the 1st 3 children. The family were not able to take preventive measures conducive to appropriate family planning.

collapsed and it took long before she was taken to the hospital that turned out to be a mild stroke.
Inability to provide adequate nursing care to the sick, disabled, dependent or vulnerable/ at risk member of the family due to inadequate
family resources for care, specifically financial constraints. This is because the family have no money to pay for the hospital bills of Ms. Jocelyn.
