In the Philippines, WHO decided to include us in the program because PTB is #5 as morbidity and was implemented from 19982004. In October 2002, a pre-evaluation was done and showed that Category I & II patients responded to DOTS Program, however, Category III patients did not respond to DOTS after 4 months of treatment. •

DOTS was not terminated in 2004 but instead a replication was made known as Tuberculosis Incentives for Private Sectors (TIPS) which was funded by United States Agency International Development (USAID) and its beneficiary is the private sector
5 Elements of DOTS:
1) Sputum Microscopy: to rule out TB, PHN is a microscopist 2) Training & Health Education of Health Workers: PHN keeps the key to Botika & distributes SCC to registered PTB patients 3) Appropriate Funding: DOTS is funded by WHO & beneficiary is DOH 4) Recording and Reporting (R/R) for proper documentation: r.a. 3753: Vital Health Statistics-PHN reports the PTB patients so that WHO will prepare the medicines for those registered & serves as baseline information 5) Chemotherapy: based on the 3 Categories of WHO WHO Categories of PTB

Three Strategies in Delivering Health Services (ELEMENTS): 1. Creation of Restructured Health Care Delivery System (RHCDS) regulated by PD 568 (1976) 2. Management Information Systems regulated by r.a. 3753: Vital Health
Statistics Law 3. Primary Health Care (PHC) regulated by LOI 949 (1984): Legalization of Implementation of PHC in the Philippines Creation of RHCDS
represented by:
3° RHO (National Health Agency) or existing national agencies like PGH or specialized agencies like Heart Center for Asia, NKI 2° MHO & PHO (Muunicipal/Provincial Health Office) 1° BHS & RHU (Barangay Health Station/Rural Health Unit) Accredited from use of RHCDS: 1. Three levels of health care 2. Referral 3. PHN has an expanded role & responsibility (going beyond the standard function) Standard Functions of Nurse: 1. Dependent-giving of medications 2. Independent-TSB for a highly febrile patient 3. Interdependent-involvement of 2 persons or agency; Example: doing your referral or collaboration with another person

For PHN, giving medicines is not a dependent function but is independent 3 Levels of Health Care: Objectives to be fulfilled 1. Primary-prevention of illness or promotion of health 2. Secondary-curative 3. Tertiary-rehabilitative Referral System in Levels of the Health Care: Barangay Health Station (BHS) is under the management of Rural Health Midwife (RHM) together with Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA) or “Hilots” TBA is under the management of RHM where before were not accepted by Medical Officer (MO) but now are considered an asset especially if there’s no obstetrician, nurse or midwife Rural Health Unit (RHU) is under the management or supervision of PHN Public Health Nurse (PHN) caters to 1:10,000 population, acts as managers in the implementation of the policies and activities of RHU, directly under the supervision of MHO (who acts as administrator) Referral System: BHS→ RHU→ MHO→ PHO→ RHO→ National Agencies→ Specialized Agencies 1. Intra-sectoral: used by RHCDS; referral within the DOH 2. Inter-sectoral: not used by RHCDS; referral/coordination/collaboration outside •

1. Health Education on Personal Hygiene washing of hands before eating & after use of toilet 2. Breastfeeding (BF) Two (2) Beneficiaries of BF Program: a. Mother-regulated by R.A. 7600: Breastfeeding and Rooming-In Act Breastfeeding is an effective contraceptive method because it stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to produce prolactin hormone→ putting the female in an anovulatory stage→ there’s amenorrhea for 6 months from the time she gave birth Rooming-in (RI) is putting together of mother and the newborn and it stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release oxytocin hormone→ stimulates the uterine muscle contraction that inhibits the implantation of fertilized zygote in the endometrium→ no pregnancy occurs b. Children-regulated by EO 51: Milk Code of the Philippines Dictum of Milk Code: Never commercialized a brand name of milk 3 Principles to make breastfeeding effective: 3 E’s a. Early : start BF as early as possible→ NSD: after 30 minutes; CS: after 3-4 hours st b. Exclusive : for the 1 six months; never alternate BF with any supplementary feeding c. Extensive: BF can be extended to 2 years Advantages of BF: Breast milk: EO 51-best for babies Reduced allergy •

Treatment Plan: 1 st 4 hours always give the maximum Plan C-treatment of severe DHN using IVF Priority-choice of IVF: 1. D5LRS-best or 1 st choice if available for severe DHN since dextrose gives additional source of energy & improves appetite D5-is glucose LRS-has 3 chlorides 2. LRS-Lactated Ringer’s or Hartman solution is the most appropriate choice if no D5LRS 3. Plain NSS or 0.9 NaCl 4. D5W 5. D10W
2 Victims of Severe Dehydration : a. Child: give 100 mg/kg body weight in the 1 st 4 hours
Example: 8 kg=800 ml. IVF to be infused on the 1 st 4 hours for patient with severe dehydration (8am-12noon) b. Adult: give 3-4 liters of IVF in 1 st 4 hours Example: 9am-1pm=4 liters=1 liter/hour If still severe dehydration, 2-6pm=infuse 4 liters IVF Fruits for Diarrhea : Apple: has pectin & tarum which has an absorbent property, eat the skin Banana: has K+ Caimito: eat the flesh in cases of constipation but in diarrheal cases, eat the extracts, milky substances (dagta) found on the inside of the skin Duhat: wash first the fruit then sprinkle with rock salt & shake, notice extracts to come out of the fruit, eat both skin & flesh Fruits to avoid during diarrhea : Papaya flesh, pineapple flesh, mango, guyabano & kaimito flesh BRAT Diet : Banana, Rice, Apple, Tea, toasted bread or toasted rice beads which has activated charcoal that acts as absorbent Direction: In a cup of warm water, add 1 tablespoon of toasted rice or bread & allow to stand for 20-30 minutes→ produces a blackish discoloration which is pectin B.

Tally Record & Reporting (R/R) prepared by PHN monthly Example: Influenza llll-llll-llll Cholera lll Amoebiasis ll Parasitism llll-llll IV. Outcome R/R done quarterly (once in 3 months/4x a year) and annually (done in December only) III.
PHN has the responsibility to prepare & report on the following Health Indicators: 1. Fertility-Crude Birth Rate (CBR) 2. Morbidity-Illnesses affecting the population group a. Incidence Rate (IR)-reported new cases affecting the population group b. Prevalence Rate (PR)-determine sum total of new + old cases of diseases per percent population 3. Mortality-Reports causes of deaths a. Crude Death rate (CDR)-overall total reported death b. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR)-maternal deaths due to maternal causes
15
c. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)-# of infant deaths (0-12 months) or less than 1 year old d. Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR)-# of deaths among neonates (newborn 0-28 days, < 1 month) e. Swaroops Index (SI)-deaths among individual in the age group of 50 and above Formulas: 1. Fertility: Crude Birth Rate (CBR) Overall total reported births per 1000 population CBR=overall total reported births x 1000 Population 2. Morbidity: a. Incidence Rate (IR): Reported new cases of disease per percent (100/population) population IR=new cases of disease x 100 Population b. Prevalence rate (PR): Reported new cases of disease + old cases of disease per percent of population PR=new cases + old cases x 100 Population 3. Mortality: a. Crude Death Rate (CDR): Overall total reported deaths per 1000 population CDR=overall total deaths x 1000 Population b. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR): Reported maternal deaths per 1000 registered live births (RLB) MMR= # of maternal deaths x 1000 RLB 4. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR): Reported # of infant (0 to 12 months of age) deaths per 1000 RLB IMR=# of infant deaths x RLB
1000
5. Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR): Reported # of neonatal (0 to 28 days or <1 month) deaths per 1000 RLB NMR=# of neonatal deaths x 1000 RLB 6. Swaroop’s Index (SI): Reported # of deaths among individuals> 50 years old over total deaths SI=# of deaths (individual >50 years old) Total Deaths

Primary Health Care (PHC):
1978, WHO & UNICEF sponsored the PHC in Alma Ata, Russia during the Alma Ata Conference (AAC) Goal: Health for All for the Year 2000 & beyond to develop self-reliance BQ: PHC conference was held in Alma Ata 1979, internationally replicated the conference in Geneva, Switzerland wherein other nations were invited including the Philippines (DOH delegates attended) making the PHC international 1984, LOI 949 approves for the legalization of implementation of PHC in the Philippines 1993, DOH: Health for All Filipinos was advocated by Dr. Juan Flavier 2000, Health for All Filipinos by Dr. Romualdez & up to present PHC as defined by WHO is an essential health care made universally accessible to IFC (Individual, Family, Community)
“Sentrong Sigla Movement” (SSM) was established by DOH with LGUs having a logo of a Sun with 8 Rays and composed of 4 Pillars: 1. Health Promotion 2. Granted Facilities 3. Technical Assistance 4. Awards: Cash, plaque, certificate Characteristics of PHC:
1. Acceptable 2. Affordable 3. Sustainable
4. Accessible 5. Available 6. Attainable
Concepts of Family Health Care:
1. Community Based-community focused & oriented, that’s why the term PHN was changed to CHN 2. Utilizes Multi-Sectoral Approaches-makes referral system 2 Modalities of Referral used by PHC: a. Intra-sectoral=RHCDS=within DOH b. Inter-sectoral=outside DOH wherein it establishes linkages with other locally based (DSWD, BFAD, DECS) or internationally based (WHO, USAID, ASAID, UNESCO & JAPHIEGO=an international organization based in Japan focused on family planning) 3. Utilizes People Empowerment-population is involved in implementing programs & making decision a. Community Immersion Program (CIP): imbibing with the community b. Community Organization Participatory Research (COPAR) 4. Utilizes Appropriate Technologies used by PHC: ACCEFS A ffordable, accessible, acceptable, available C ost wise=economical in nature C omplex procedures which provide a simple outcome E ffective F easibility of use=possibility of use at all times S cope of technology is safe & secure •

Training of Health Workers Creation of Botika sa Baryo & Botika sa Health Center Herbal Plants Oresol
3 Levels of Training :
Training of Health Workers
1. Grassroot/Village Includes the Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA) or “Hilots” who attends to delivery, Barangay Health Volunteers (BHV) and Barangay Health Workers (BHW) Non professionals, didn’t undergo formal training, receive no salary but are given incentive in the form of honorarium from the local government since 1993 2. Intermediate-these are professionals including the 8 members of the PHWs 3. First Line Personnel-the specialist (Oncologist, cardiologist, nephrologists) Creation of “Botika sa Baryo & Botika sa Health Center” A. RA 6675: Generics Act of 1988: implementing “Oplan Walang Reseta
Program”-solution to the absence of a medical officer who prescribed the medicines so PHN are given the responsibility to prescribe generic medicines and “Walong Wastong Gamot Program”-available generics in “Botika sa Baryo” & Health Center Father of Generics Act: Dr. Alfredo Bengzon Generic Name-ingredients of drugs expected to provide therapeutic value Brand Name- name given by the manufacturer 8 Commonly available Generics in “Botika sa Baryo & Health Center”:
CARIPPON 1. Co-trimoxazole:
it’s a combination of 2 generics of drugs which is antibacterial a. Trimethoprim(TMP) Has a bacteriostatic action that stops/inhibits multiplication of bacteria For GUT, GIT & URTI (TMP combined with SMX) b. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) Has bactericidal action that kills bacteria For GUT, GIT, URTI & Skin Infections The drug of choice of DOH for pneumonia is the combination of TMP & SMX (Co-trimoxazole) Amoxicillin/Ampicillin An antibacterial drug that comes from the Penicillin family Effect is generally bacteriostatic (when source of infection is bacterial) These 2 drugs provide the least sensitivity reaction (rashes & GI) and the adverse effect of other antibiotics is anaphylactic shock For TB Program: Rifampicin (RIF)---------Isoniazid (INH) → All are antibacterial (bactericidal) Pyrazinamide (PZA)-----All came from Aminoglycoside Rifampicin & Isoniazid are the only TB drugs given to children RIF: Hepatotoxic Adverse Effect of INH: Peripheral neuritis Paracetamol Has an analgesic & anti-pyretic effect Acetyl Salicylic Acid (ASA) or Aspirin is never kept in the “Botika” because of its effects: b. Analgesic

Gather leaves & wash thoroughly, place in a container the washed leaves & add water Let it boil without cover to vaporize/steam to release toxic substance & undesirable taste Use extracts for washing b. Poultice Done by pounding or chewing leaves used by herbolaryo Example: Akapulko leaves-when pounded, it releases extracts coming out from the leaves contains enzyme (serves as antiinflammatory) then apply on affected skin or spewed it over skin For treatment of skin diseases c. Infusion To prepare a tea (use lipton bag), keep standing for 15 minutes in a cup of warm water where a brown solution is collected, pectin which serves as an adsorbent and astringent Used for diarrhea and for pneumonia so PHN discourages to buy commercially prepared cough syrup→ expectorant: Nature of Cough 1) Dry→ mucolytic→ liquefy mucus Example: Carbocisteine, Guafenesin 2) Productive→ expectorant→ irritants to the mucus gland Example: Bromhexine (Bisolvon) 3) Non stop coughing→ antitussive Example: Dextromethorpan (Robitussin)→ contains codeine Robitussin AC→ contains atropine & codeine d. Juice/Syrup To prepare a papaya juice, use ripe papaya & mechanically mashed then put inside a blender & add water To produce it into a syrup, add sugar then heat to dissolve sugar & mix it For problems of constipation Example: papaya, mango & caimito •

BASIC HEALTH SERVICES OF DOH (E L E M E N T S) HEALTH EDUCATION:
Generalized Activities where Health Education is provided 1. Family Health Nursing Care ( FHNC) 2. Community Organization 3. Epidemiological Condition 4. Environmental Sanitation 5. Home Visit 3 Concepts of FHNC:
Family: Focus of care
21
Health: Goal of care Nursing: Medium/Channel of providing care Standard Definition of Nursing Process : a systematic approach of solving an existing problem/meeting the needs of family- RAPIE 1. Rapport/Relating 2. Assessment: Sub-steps a. Data Gathering: tools or instruments used during survey (windshield)
1) Interview 2) Observation 3) Questionnaires-mostly patronized & used in CHN 4) Records & Reports available b. Consolidation or Collation-collecting back the questionnaires, tabulate and summarize c. Validation: uses statistical approaches Statistical Approaches : 1) Central Tendencies: 3 M’s a) Mean=average Mean: x=Ex (summation of=sum total of variables available) N (# of existing variables) Example: Shortening of life expectancy of Females: 71 y/o & Males: 67 y/o. What is the average life expectancy of Filipinos? 71 + 67=138 ÷ 2=69 y/o average life expectancy b) Median=range Highest-lowest score=95-35=60 passing score c) Mode=frequency of occurrence of a variable, used if there’s too many variable occurring twice or more & arrange variables from highest to lowest Example: Scores of exam=95 95 85 85 70 65 65 65 50 Uni-modal: 70 & 50=1x Bi-modal: 95=2x Tri-modal: 85 & 65=3x Quadri-modal=4x 2) Standard Deviation: used if there are too many variables available to be treated which is seldom used in CHN SD=√ ∑ (x-x) n-1
3)
∑=summation of x=variables available x=mean (given special attention) n=# of existing variables
Percentile (%) Method: most commonly used in CHN by adding all cores then multiply by 100

e. Identifying or Defining the Problem Typology of Nursing Problems : by Drs. Baylon & Magnaya (authors of Family Health Nursing Process) I. First Level Assessment: to determine problems of family Sources of Problems using IDB Family: use of Initial Data Base (IDB) Nature: Health Deficit (HD), Health Threat (HT), Foreseeable Crisis (FC) Use of Initial Data Base (IDB) : A. Family Chart Structure: Nuclear-Father, mother, children Extended (3 rd generation)-Relatives staying with the family Multi-generational extended-“apo sa tuhod” or “apo sa talampakan” Dyad-Husband & wife only (childless couple) Blended-widow married another widow & have children Gay-Same sex living together Matriarchal-Mother is the decision maker Patriarchal-Father is the decision maker Communal-different families forming a community B. Socio-economic: poverty level, educational attainment & nature of occupation of members of the family (sources of income) C. Socio-cultural: different nature of religion D. Home environment: assessment according to ES, treatment of garbage, preparation of food, availability of toilet, water & food sanitation, sources of diseases E. Medical history: history of certain disease, family member with disease F. Resources available in community for use by the family: 5 Generalized M’s in resources available in community: 1. Man/Manpower 2. Money 3. Machine 4. Materials 5. Methods 5 Specific M’s: 1. Transportation 2. Hospital/Clinic 3. School 4. Market 5. Recreational Center •

Define the problem after identifying it according to nature
A. Health Deficit (HD)-if identified problem is an abnormality, illness or disease, there’s a gap/difference between normal status (ideal, desirable, expected) & actual status (the outcome/result/problem encountered on that actual day) During “operation timbang”, the 9 y/o child is 15 kg. (actual BW). For a 9 y/o, IBW=25-27 kg. 27 -15 12 kg. underweight (a deficit) B.
Health Threat (HT)-any condition or situation which will be conducive to health alteration, health interference & health disturbance 8th pregnancy=↑ risk=toxemia, now known as PIH
23
Without immunization (BCG, OPV, DPT, HBV, Measles)=HT to have 7 immunizable diseases C.
Foreseeable Crisis (FC)-stress points, anything which is anticipated/expected to become a problem Example: Jobless=no income→ no money to buy food leads to starvation Pregnancy for the 8 th time Mr. Juan Dela Cruz is:
Jobless Father Suffering from TB Wife is pregnant for the 8 th time 2 y/o youngest child lacks immunization 9 y/o eldest child is 3 rd degree malnourished Poor environmental sanitation
FC HD HT & FC HT HD HT
II. Second Level Assessment: coping capacity of the family using coping areas (9x) 9x Coping Areas (Family Health Tasks)
Coping Index Card Competent Marginal (Adequate) (Average) (5) (3)
Incompetent (Inadequate) (1)
1. Physical Independence (liberty of the family to move around) 2. Therapeutic Competence 3. Knowledge about health 4. Application of Principles on Hygiene 5. Attitude towards health maintenance 6. Family living (special competence) 7. Emotional Competence 8. Physical Competence 9. Utilization: Resources Available Example: A mother said that her 5 year old child has fever T=39.9°C & she did TSB, T=37.6°C→ tick competent for therapeutic 3. Planning
Four (4) Standard Steps: a. Prioritization-start if there are multiple identified problems b. Formulation of objectives-planning a procedure will start here if there is only one problem
24
c. Developing strategies of action d. Formulation of evaluation tools for the identified strategy developed Example: TB, jobless, pregnant for the 8 th time, child lacks immunization, malnutrition & poor environmental sanitation-there are 6 problems identified: There are 6 problems identified, thus prioritize the problems which needs to be attended 1 st Make use of the Table of Reference to prioritize the Multiple Problems •

Steps: a. Decide on a score b. Score x weight Highest score c. Get the sum total of all the scores Interpretation: Perfect score=5, if score nearing 5 then prioritize the problem Criteria 1, 2 & 3 has to be assessed objectively by the health worker Criteria 4 has to be assessed by the perception of the family Example: Compute for Malnutrition
Step 1: 3 rd degree malnutrition=health deficit→ 3 Step 2: 3 3 x 1=1 II. Modifiability: 1 2 x 2=1 III. Preventive Potential: 2 3 x 1=.67 x 1=.67 IV. Salience Problem: 1 2 x 1=.5 Step 3: Add all scores 1 + 1 + .67 + .5=3.17 rd Hypothetical: TB =3.25→ 3 priority Jobless =2.99 th 8 pregnancy =3.45→1 st priority I.
Nature:
25
Lacks immunization =3.30→ 2 nd priority Malnutrition =3.17 Poor ES =3.18 BQ: Prioritized the problem of the family of Mr. Santos: a. Womanizer -FC & HT c. Pneumonia -HD th b. Jobless -FC d. 9 pregnancy -FC & HT Answer : C, pneumonia Isolate the problems according to nature: HD, HT & FC 4. Intervention or Implementation or Working Phase Is the capacity to provide management Is the professional phase of nursing process Is the time when the PHN executes the standard function of an RN Three (3) Standard Functions of RN: a. Dependent-giving of medicines b. Independent-monitor, assess, provide, educate c. Interdependent-referrals 5. Evaluation Three (3) Things to be evaluated: SPO Structure of program & activity-what articles, equipments, supplies are utilized Process utilized-steps used Outcome of activity-results can be: a. Desirable-to be implemented, advocated, strengthen b. Undesirable-to be avoided Two (2) Aspects to be evaluated in the Outcome: a. Quality-characteristic or kind of outcome; no numerical value, not measurable b. Quantity-from the word “quantum”, with numerical value, measurable Example: Dec 2004, 1 st encounter with Dela Cruz Family Identified problem: 3 rd degree malnutrition was reported to MO Feb 2005, MO asked about the family If PHN evaluation is: “Tumaba na, malakas, mapaglaro, masigla-quality Gained 5 lbs-quantity Community Organization Objectives : Patterns to be followed
1. Organize people----- Goal: to develop self-reliance or independence and changes 2. Mobilize people within the individual 3. Work with people 4. Educate people-----a. Knowledge b. Attitude c. Skills Phases: 4. Educating (training) 1. Preparatory 5. Collaborating 2. Organizing 6. Phase out 3. Mobilizing Policies : Preparatory Phase
1. Area of Selection It should be DOPE Community: Depressed, Oppressed, Poor & Exploited, a new criteria for community organization “Old Criteria”→ it must be a virgin community=meaning no agency has gone there.
26
This is a dangerous situation that’s why RA 7305: Magna Carta for Public Workers was provided-a PHN is to receive a hazard pay of 20-25% of monthly salary 2. Entry: the 1 st thing to do upon entering the community is to have a courtesy call with the Barangay Captain, introduce self & group, purpose, present the project, activities, etc. 3. Integration/Immersion (CIP) Immersion is imbibing the life situation/condition of the community by living, eating & sleeping with the family to be able to understand their situation It requires 2 Qualities of PHN: a. Empathy b. Sympathy (Integration) 4. Community Study: Diagnosis of Community-COPAR Makes use of the Nursing Process/Problem Solving Approach st Prioritized which among the problems identified is to be attended 1 like in nature, magnitude, modifiability, preventive potential, salience
Prioritization of Community Problems NATURE

SALIENCE
First to be assessed is the nature of the problem. Health status problem is to be prioritized
Health Status is to be prioritized because it is from the outcome of report of health condition/status. Problem identified will be the indicator of health condition→ RA 3753: Vital Health Statistics Indicators of Health Status/Condition: a. Fertility: ↑ CBR=community is overpopulated=HS b. Morbidity: IR (new cases) & PR (old cases)=HS c. Mortality: Deaths like children dying of pneumonia=HS Health Resource(s): methods
5 M’s-Manpower/Man, money, machinery, material & (+) available facilities-Hospital/Clinic, mode of transportation, market, school & movie houses for recreation
Health Related: Categories according to 5 Aspects of Man= PEMSS P hysical, P hysiological, P sychological

E motional M ental S ocial S piritual
Organizing Phase
5. Choosing Potential Community Leaders 6. Core Group Formation 7. Community Assembly: Community Organizing Participatory Action Research (COPAR) Attend the assembly of the family/families Families in the community should be represented, any family members can represent his/her family as long as he/she is a RESPONSIBLE (one who also can comprehend) member of that family. Barangay Captain/Chairman need not necessary be the leader. He can recommend 8. Mobilization-let the members of the community do the work. PHN should only SUPERVISE 9. Supervision of Health Education 10.Evaluation with Expansion-there should be a perceived change before one leaves that community. Never leave without change but be able to evaluate the population Health Education in terms of Epidemic Policies in times of Epidemic/Activities of PHN in times of Epidemic:
1. Organize a team 2. Conduct an Epidemiologic Investigation (EI) A problem solving approach that follows a scientific step Steps in Epidemiological Investigation : a. Confirm diagnosis Determine 1 st if greater population is affected by disease Example: Lanting Community=epidemic measles 3000: Susceptible population 1750: Affected population b. Appraise the fact Use an empirical approach (the utilization of human senses)=naked eyes/sense of light, touch, smell & hearing PHN needs to get out & check for the victims Example: PHN’s sense of sight=saw the pathognomonic signs of measles→ koplik’s spot & rashes c. Formulate hypothesis To make an intellectual guess based on theory, fact & generalization The problem is stated in hypothetical form using 2 Variables of Hypothesis: 1) Independent-refers to the cause 2) Dependent-refers to outcome/effect There should be an existing relationship between the 2 variables Example: Stated problem in hypothesis: Measles is caused by rubeola virus Dependent (outcome): Measles Independent (cause): Rubeola virus d. Testing hypothesis To prepare an assumption which is always paired with stated hypothesis Assumption is the answer of the researcher to a stated problem • •

is the personal opinion of the researcher (pananaw) & does not need to be proven because it’s always true & correct Example: Lanting Community has poor environmental sanitation (es) which caused the measles e. Draw a conclusion To draw a conclusion from the statement of problem & assumption to come up with a Nursing Diagnosis Example: Measles is caused by rubeola virus due to poor environmental sanitation •
•
•
3. Collection of Specimen (optional) Optional because it is case to case basis Not done in measles epidemic Done in GIT diseases like Cholera caused by bacterial agent Vibrio cholera where it is identified in stool examination 4. Treatment RA 6675: providing drug of choice Example: Cholera-give Tetracycline but contraindicated to pregnant women & children below 8 years old so may give Penicillin like Ampicillin 5. Immunization Mass immunization for measles epidemic=”Ligtas Tigdas”, a DOH program Example: The mass immunization of all children in the community (6 months to 8 years old) with measles vaccine irregardless if a 9 month old baby has just received measles vaccine, he will still be given. No overdose will result but it’s prophylactic (Patak Polio) and not for treatment 6. 7. 8. 9.
Health Education-on personal hygiene Environmental Sanitation Referral Recording & Reporting (R/R)-r.a. 3753: Vital Health Statistics Law 10. Evaluation & Reasearch Research evaluation was only started in 2001 Year 1996-2000: Zero Polio Philippine Program In year 2000, there’s sudden mark decrement/decrease of polio cases In year 2001, suddenly there’s an increase incidence of polio because they don’t know the cause so they consider polio to be mutagenic 1) Brunhilde 2) Leon 3) Lansing 3 Strains of Polio: Types of Epidemiological Investigation:
a. Descriptive: describes or defines the characteristic pattern or occurrence of epidemic as to where-place when-date, time who-person b. Analytical: determines what could have cause the occurrence of the disease c. Interventional: therapeutic or experimental that determines the management/treatment for the victims of the occurrence of the disease d. Evaluative: the efficacy of the management/treatment determines provided/procedure done Efficacy refers to effectivity (qualitative) and efficiency (quantitative) Epidemiology is the pattern of occurrences & distribution of diseases, defects &
deaths

Immune
(at risk to develop, (those that did not acquire or experience the experience the disease, disease) usually individuals develop resistance against the disease) 80% (more than 50%) 20% 50% 50% 20% 80% ---------
Epidemic Greater than 50% of populations are susceptible or less immune individual Greater % of the population is affected by the occurring disease Example 1: Health worker reports that Community Lanting has an epidemic of measles affecting children less than 7 years old Total susceptible population: 3000 Children affected by measles: 1750 1750 3000 x 100=58% (more than 50% of susceptible population=epidemic Example 2: Epidemiological Chapter is regional Measles is considered epidemic if in: Year 2004=there are 15 cases Year 2005=there are 19 cases, because it exceeds the # of cases of previous year
Endemic-the disease occurs regularly, habitually, constantly affecting the population group 2 Local Endemic Diseases: where causative agent is available on those places a. Schistosomiasis: Region V -Bicol (Sorsogon) Region VIII -Samar & Leyte Region XI -Davao b. Malaria: Palawan & Mindanao-reasons why it’s prevalent 1) Forested areas 2) Surrounded by bodies of water 2.
3.
Sporadic The pattern of occurrence is on & off where: On=available causative agent Off=no available causative agent It’s intermittent (unpredictable) in occurrence Disease occurs only if there’s a susceptible host like in rabies
4.
Pandemic-worldwide, international, universal, global in occurrence like in AIDS, Hepatitis B, PTB, measles, mumps, diphtheria, pneumonia SARS is categorized by WHO as an OUTBREAK only because out of 191 nations, 33 countries are reported to have it Home Visit

Priorities (in the care): to prevent cross contamination
1. 2. 3. 4.
Newborn Post partum Pregnant mothers Morbid cases The families need the assistance of the health center that’s why home visit was done to the family The person who makes the home visit is rendering services on behalf of the health center
Public Health Bag :
Indispensable tool that should be organize to save time & effort and to prevent cross infection & contamination Guiding Principles in the use of Public Health Bag: 1. Content-should be prepared by the one who will make home visit 2. Cleaning The inner part of the bag should be clean & sterile Should be done every after home visit Never endorse the bag 3. Contamination The less one opens the bag, the lesser chance of contamination In general, the bag is open 3x: a. Putting out materials for hand washing b. Putting out materials used for nursing care c. Returning all what have been used 4. Care of Communicable Case(s)-should be disinfected with the use of 70% isopropyl alcohol or Lysol which should be done at the health center and not at home • • •

a. Disease: Schistosomiasis b. Other name: Bilhariasis or Snail Fever c. Causative agent: Schistosoma-a blood fluke (parasite) 3 Types of Species: 1) Schistosoma japonicum-endemic in the Philippines & affecting Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea Vector: Oncomelania quadrasi-a tiny snail that serves as an intermediate host responsible to transmit the disease to man 2) Schistosoma mansoni---------affects African nations 3) Schistosoma haematobium--3 Forms of Parasite: 1) Nematodes-pinworm 2) Trematodes-Schistosoma, Flatworms (Paragonimiasis) 3) Cestodes d. Laboratory Procedures to rule out Schistosomiasis: 1) Blood Examination: ↑ eosinophil level indicates parasitism 2) Fecalysis: Kato katz (plain stool exam that uses a special apparatus resembling a feeding bottle sterilizer) Procedure: a) Collect specimen b) Have the test tube undergo centrifugation for 20 minutes c) Get specimen from precipitate & swab it on glass slide d) Observe it on microscope e. Signs & Symptoms (Pathognomonic=specific s/sxs identifiable for a disease: CNS: High grade fever→ cerebral convulsion GIT: Nausea & vomiting, Diarrhea→ Chronic dysentery (prolonged diarrhea of more than 2 weeks & consistency is mucoid & bloody (with streaks of blood) Liver: Presence of infection manifested by jaundice & hepatomegaly Parts of Hepa B Virus: Serologic Tests 1) HBsAg-Hepatitis B Surface Antigen 2) HBcAg-Hepatitis B Core Antigen (+) HBsAg or HBcAg indicates Hepatitis B not Schistosomiasis •

Fully Immunized Child (FIC)-is a child who receives the 5 sets of vaccines (BCG, DPT, OPV, Hep B & Measles and who receives 11 doses of vaccines
Vaccine (# of Doses) BCG-1 dose DPT-3 doses OPV-3 doses HBV-3 doses MV-1 dose
Infants (0-12 months) Right age to receive the vaccine 0 age (at birth)-12 months 1st Dose-6 wks./1 ½ mos. 2nd Dose-10 wks./2 ½ mos. 3rd Dose-14 wks./3 ½ mos. 9-12 months
School Entrants 1 booster dose (6 years old)
MV may be given 6 months if there is an epidemic c. Wastage Allowance DOH doesn’t produce vaccines biologically and therefore dependent on suppliers abroad: Germany & Switzerland to economize: 1) Be aware of the availability of vaccines: Example: BCG CHN: vial Private Practice: ampule Frozen powder with a diluent (1 ml per content) How many recipients= Availability Dosage for I=.05 ml Dosage to be given Dosage for SE=0.1 ml I=1 ml (availability) SE=1 ml .05 ml (dosage) .1 ml =20 recipients in 1 vial/1 ml =10 recipients Follow DOH Dictum: On the day of immunization, if 50% & above of computed recipients arrive in the health center, open a vial but if less than 50%, don’t open. Example: In 20 recipients, 10 arrived=open a vial Half life of Vaccines is the duration of potency: a. Vaccine with 4 hours half life: BCG, MV (need to mix) If open at 8:00 am, it’s good till 12:00 noon At 12:30 pm, don’t give anymore because it’s not potent anymore b. Vaccine with 8 hours half life: DPT, OPV, HBV, TT (already in solution/liquid form ready to administer) 2)

Steps to Compute the Number of Vaccine to be Requested from DOH
1. Determine the Eligible Population (EP) EP=Population of the Community x 0.03 (I & SE) or 0.035 (PW) 2. Determine the Annual Dose (AD) AD=EP x # of doses of the vaccine 3. Determine the Wastage Allowance (WA)
37
WA=computed AD x MF of the vaccine 4. Determine the Complete Coverage (CC) CC=WA ÷ # of recipients per vaccine 5. Determine the Overall Total in Allowance (OT) OT=CC x 1.25 (constant), DOH usually grants an allowance of 25% of the CC Example: Determine the # of vaccines to be requested from DOH of DPT for Lanting Community with a population of 4000 1. EP=4000 x 0.03=120 2. AD=120 x 3 doses=360 3. WA=360 x 1.67=601 4. CC=601 ÷ 20=30 5. 30 x 1.25=37.5 or 38 vials to be given by DOH (or 8 vials allowance) II.
Cold Chain: tools or procedures to follow to keep vaccine potent (expected desired effect) Policies: 1. Proper Storage: store vaccines in refrigerators RHO
3°
Given 6 months to store vaccines
MHO PHO BHS RHU
2° 1°
Given 3 months to store vaccines Given 1 month to store vaccines
RHCDS
Freezer -15° C to -20° C
OPV: most sensitive to heat MV
Body of Refrigerator 2° C to 8° C
BCG DPT HBV TT: least sensitive to heat OPV & MV: highly sensitive to heat OPV, MV & BCG: Not damage by freezing DPT, HBV & TT: Damaged by freezing so not placed in the freezer 2. Proper Transport Vaccines are to be transported from the health center to the area of immunization (community: focused, based & oriented) Tools provided by DOH: Vaccine Carrier which maybe a. Black: use by staff of HC during epidemic & needs 5 cold dogs b. White: use by student affiliates & needs 4 cold dogs Cold Dogs: 4 plastic containers filled with water which is placed in the freezer a day before immunization which is used as freezant to keep vaccine potent 3.
Proper Handling of Vaccine (After Care of Vaccine): Dictum of DOH a. Vaccines which are opened, though not consumed, should be discarded Reasons: can’t be used for future program because vaccines have half life (duration of potency of vaccine) BCG -4 hours half life MV Other vaccines -8 hours half life
38
BCG, OPV & MV are composed of live attenuated bacteria & virus so before discarding them, disinfect 1 st with 1% Hcl or any disinfectant like zonrox, chlorox or dumex BCG (Bacilli Calmette-Guerin Vaccine): live attenuated bacteria OPV & Measles Vaccine: live attenuated virus DPT, HBV & TT can be readily discarded if not consumed DPT: Diphtheria-weakened toxoid treated with chemical solution to weaken microorganism Pertussis-killed bacteria Tetanus-weakened toxoid HBV: plasma derived, identified to be RNA & DNA recombinant from blood TT: weakened toxoid b. Vaccines which are taken out from Health Center for 3x or more are considered overly exposed & not potent anymore therefore it should be discarded Put notation (state the date) on the unopened vaccine as to when it was taken out from health center May 19, 2006 Jun. 19, 2006 Jul. 19, 2006-can’t be used anymore after this III. Immunization Guiding Principles for HW in Administering Vaccines & Screening of Children for Immunizations: 1. No BCG for a child born clinically positive to AIDS because they have a damage immune system & introducing bacteria will further aggravate their condition 2. There are no contraindications such as slight fever, LBM, cough & colds and malnutrition, in giving the immunization unless upon assessment of the practitioner that the child has serious medical problems that warrants hospitalization 3. In giving immunization with multiple doses such as DPT, OPV & HBV, continue counting in giving the doses. Never count back even though the interval exceeds weeks, months or years. As long as the child is on the eligible age Example: DPT, OPV & HBV 1st dose: At 6 weeks (1 ½ months), the child was given vaccination 2nd dose: The mother brought back the child when he was 8 months old instead at 10 weeks (2 ½ months). PHN should still give the 2 nd dose 3rd dose: The mother brought back the child at 2 years old. PHN should still give the vaccine because child is still at the eligible age (0-59 months or 4 years & 11 months or 5 years old) to receive vaccine 4.
DPT: it is a normal reaction for a child to develop high grade fever because of the pertussis component (killed bacteria) SOP Management: Paracetamol q 4 hours RTC for the 1 st 2 days (or 3, 4 days if still febrile) If after 1 st dose of DPT, the child develops high grade fever with convulsion, DPT 2 & 3 are not given anymore because convulsion affects the brain cells resulting to brain damage DPT vaccine is only for prophylactic/ preventive use

Thus, repeat the dose on same site but a little lower. Site preparation: Use clean cotton ball & wet with sterile water only For non-healing abscess & ulceration: BCG was wrongly administered by IM or SQ by PHW so incision & drainage should be done by MD only and INH tablet, an anti-bacterial, pounded, pulverized & applied on the site.

Lactation Amenorrhea Method (LAM): RA 7600-Breastfeeding & Rooming In Law DOH organized Maternal & Child Family Health Institute (MCFHI) with the following members: a. All government hospitals b. Private hospitals (volunteer) Normal involution (uterus goes back to normal) of the uterus: after 45 days or 5-6 weeks or 1 ½ months if not breastfeeding Frozen breast milk is to be put out of the freezer 2 hours before feeding Left over milk should be discarded & should not be re-preserved or re-frozen because it is already contaminated
5. Calendar (Rhythm) Deleted already since 1998 because it’s not recommended for irregular cycle of menstruation Menstrual cycle should be regular; obtain 4-6 months cycle

B. Behavioral 1. Abstinence 2. Withdrawal C. Temporary 1. Chemical a. Oral Pills (Logentrol)-has low dose of estrogen & progesterone that inhibits ovulation b. Parenteral: Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA)/Depoprovera- inhibits ovulation making women amenorrheic; 1991, DMPA was found to be causing cancer of the cervix 1994, DMPA is given IM 4x a year every 3 months (90 days interval) c. Implants: Norplant-it inhibits ovulation effective for 5 years but seldom advocated for use because it is usually expensive; the

Middle Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)-used in children below 5 years old by measuring the middle upper arm with a tape measure Normal: 13 cms. & above Malnutrition: <13 cms. 4.
B. Biochemical Method 1. Micronutrient Malnutrition-available in small amount in the body VADAG: Vitamin A Deficiency: Deficiency: Xeropthalmia-opacity of cornea leading to night blindness Infants (6-12 months) : Give 100,000 i.u. Pre-schoolers (12-83 months) : 200,000 i.u. Post partum : 200,000 i.u. Never give Vitamin A to infants less than 6 months & pregnant women because it is toxic Example: Infant 8 months old Patterns of treatment st Vitamin A 100,000 i.u. 2/21/06 1 Dose: give today 100,000 i.u. 2/22/06 2 nd Dose: give tomorrow 100,000 i.u. 3/08/06 3 rd Dose: give after 2 weeks Anemia: Iron Deficiency Anemia Target age group: 0-59 months (less than 5 years) Give 3-6 mg/kbw/day Always give the maximum Example: Child weighs 8 kg 8 x 6=48 mg/day for the 1 st 3 months then monitor If still anemic, continue giving but compute again 6 mg/kbw Goiter: Iodine Deficiency Disease (endemic in uphill) Target age group: 0-59 months Give 1 capsule (200 mg) of potassium iodate in oil once a year For a child < 5 years old, empty contents of capsule in a cup with warm water because he can’t tolerate it Adverse Effect of Iodine Deficiency Disease that must be avoided: a. Mental retardation-intelligence quotient: idiot, moron & imbecile b. Growth retardation- cretinism (pedia) & dwarfism (adult) 2. Macronutrient Malnutrition-available in large amount in the body (Protein Energy Malnutrition or PEM) A. Kwashiorkor-protein deficiency B . Marasmus-carbohydrate deficiency (energy giving food) •

Food Production 1. Fortification-products without any nutrient are added with nutrients RA 8172 (Asin Law): Fidel Salt (Fortification of Iodine Deficiency Elimination)=Iodized Salt-“Patak” sa Asin” by Secretary Flavier on December 1-5, 2003 where DOH workers go to market to check if salt sold contains iodine by placing few drops of reagent: If salt color turns to blue violet→ fortified with iodine If salt color show no change→ not fortified with iodine
RA 832 (Rice Fortification): FVR (Fortified Vitamin Rice) by Secretary Flavier under FVR, Erap Rice under Erap, Gloria Rice or “Bigas ni Gloria” under PGMA
2. Enrichment-adding more nutrients to products already with nutrients Canned Goods----Noodles → written in their labels: enriched with vitamin ABC… Z Junk Foods--------- with DOH seal “Sangkap Pinoy” III.
Nutritional Education-sharing of information to mothers whose children are malnourished 3 Basic Food Groups: Go -CHO Grow -CHON Glow -Vitamins, Minerals & Fats Pyramid for Healthy Filipino Food Lifestyle by Food & Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI)-another agency which is supportive of Nutrition Council of the Philippines Eat less Oils, Fats, Sugar, Salt Eat some Meat, Poultry, Peanut, Fatty dairies Eat more Vegetables, Fruits, Salad Eat most Wheat, Corn, Bread, Potato, Rice Drink a lot Water, Clear broth
IV. Nutritional
Rehabilitation PP 147: declared the National Immunization Days Plus (NIDs Plus) In 2003, it was held during the month of March & April Immunization activities was not done at the Health Center but was held at a designated area Rural Sanitary Inspector (RSI) will locate the venue (The Patak Center) to conduct the immunization The Patak Center catering to the population of 1000 was composed of the following personnel: 1 Runner, 1 Recorder, 1 Organizer, 1 Vaccinator & 1 Health Educator NIDs Plus Activities: 1. Immunization 2. Giving Multivitamins fortified with Vitamin A, Iron & Iodine for < 5 years old, pregnant women & post partum • •

Araw ng Sangkap Pinoy (ASAP): Health Centers distribute basic commodities fortified & enriched with multivitamins which is done yearly every October Example: Skim milk & canned goods donated by international organizations like UNICEF, WHO, RA 4226: Hospital Licensure Act-creation of additional unit in every department of the hospital as Malnutrition Ward to house malnourished victims to be under the supervision of a nutritionist
TREATMENT OF COMMUNICABLE & NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES Communicable Diseases: which the DOH has special programs (other diseases
under CD subject) 1. Tuberculosis: MDT, SCC & DOTS 2. Pneumonia: CARI 3. Diarrhea: CDD 4. Leprosy: RRC (MDT)
ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION (ES)
refers to all factors available in the environment affecting the health of the individual or population the Environmental Health Service (EHS) of DOH is responsible for: 1. Promotion of healthy environmental conditions & prevention of environmental related diseases through appropriate sanitation strategies 2. Promotion & implementation of sanitation programs through the Department of Health Field Health Units 3. Conceptualization of new programs/projects to contend with emerging environmentally related health problems regulated by PD 856: Comprehensive Sanitation Code of the Philippines
Factors Covered by Sanitation Code Immediate Concern of PHN : 1. Food Sanitation 2. Garbage Disposal 3. Sources of Disease-PHN is concerned with eradication of insects, rodents,
flies & mosquitoes & cockroaches 4. Toilet Two Considerations in constructing toilets: a. Construct at a distance of 25-30 meters from identified source of water like deep well, faucet, etc. b. Construct at a level lower than the source of water Role of RSI: a. Locate the source of water b. Construct a toilet for community use 5. Water Sanitation Potable-free from any particles that might cause illness to an individual Ways to make Water Potable: a. Boiling: minimum of 3 minutes to maximum of 10 minutes for drinking b. Sterilization: 30 minutes after the water starts to boil c. Filtration: makes use of filter paper or cotton cloth to separate solid particle from liquid if water comes from river d. Coagulation/Flocculation: uses aluminum crystal (tawas) that collects or absorbs particles from liquid part & becomes slimy In 1 gallon of water, drop tawas (the size of magi cubes) & allow to stand for 6-8 hours Initially, water appears to be cloudy then after 6-8 hours of standing, the water becomes clear e. Chlorination: uses 100% pure concentrated chlorine bought from botika or given free by health centers •

To prepare stock solution (SS): in 1 liter drinking water, add 1 tablespoon of concentrated chlorine which is potent for 3-4 months To prepare the chlorinated water: in 2 ½ gallons of drinking water (10,000 ml=10 liters), add 1 tablespoon from the prepared stock solution & let it stand for 30 minutes to react with water 1 gallon=4 liters 10 liters is good for use of family of 5 & good for 3 days only th On the 4 day, larvae are present to become mosquitoes that causes dengue so it’s not good for drinking Prepare chlorinated water everyday f. Fluoridation: adding fluoride to prevent dental caries (primary significance) & whitens enamel of teeth ( 2 nd significance) g. Aeration: exposing drinking water in air to strengthen taste within 24 hours which is usually used in uphill areas where there’s less or no pollution •
•
Beyond PHN Responsibilities : 6. Pollution: Water, Noise, Air:
RA 8749-Clean Air Act=a program of DENR supported by MMDA (Smoke Belchers) & LTO (Emission Testing)
7.
Plumbing: a responsibility of DPWH
8.
Institutional Sanitation: establishments who employ professional prostitute requires license given by DOH from their employees DOH created a center that caters for STD Prevention which requires employees who are at risk to have a certificate that they are free from STD & monitored once in 6 months 4 C’s to prevent STD: Compliance, Counseling, Contact training & use of Condom •
•
9.
Hospital Waste Management: RA 4226-Hospital Licensure Act monitors the hospital license & proper management of wastes as well as renewal of license to operate Color Coding of Bin to keep Waste: Green : wet waste--- non pathological waste Black : dry waste--Yellow: infectious/pathological waste like blood, sputum, urine, feces & gauze Orange : toxic/hazardous waste •
10. Ecological
Solid Waste Management: RA 9003-the use of incinerator approved in 2000 but was implemented in 2003 because of lack of funding to purchase Dioxin: a toxic substance emitted from burning of solid waste when inhaled by a breastfeeding mother, her milk will be contaminated→ cancer of the blood of the child •
Sanitary Ways of Treating Garbage as taught to the Population:
1. Segregation-separating biodegradable from non biodegradable 2. Collection-adherence to the proper collection time→ the City of Manila coordinates with Leonel Waste Management (a private firm which collects garbage) where the truck driver coordinates with the Barangay Chairman on the time they will collect garbage so don’t bring out garbage before the collection time 3. Dumping in official site: PD 825-improper waste (garbage) disposal→ fine of P1,000 & minimum imprisonment of 7 days 4. Burying-if area is accessible 6. Composting-has dual purpose: a. Sanitary disposal b. Compost is used as fertilizer
