INTRODUCTION Biologic definitions of family describe mating, reproduction, and descent, and do not emphasize psychosocial aspects of partnering or parenting. Sociologists view the family as a social group usually related by blood or contract. Legal definitions of family consider the phenomena of marriage, divorce, separation, and adoption, and how they create non-biologic family configurations. Common to all definitions of family are that families are more than one person with at least one adult, and that these persons are related to one another by blood or social contract. In nursing, we use the nursing process as our problem solving approach. It enables the nurse to systematically assess and respond effectively to the situations. The process begins with a health situation. The nurse and the recipient of her services come together and the process begins. The family nursing care process is the sum of the activities jointly performed by the family and the nurse. It includes the following: ASSESSMENT: It involves the collection of data based on observation of behavior, recurrent themes, stressful and critical incidents as they relate to an individual, a family or a group situation. The interpretation of data implies a working knowledge if concepts of health, disease process, and they psychological and social determinants of an individual, family, and group behavior. DIAGNOSIS: After completing the assessment phase of family care, the nurse will be able to identify family strengths and determine the existence of any actual or potential health problems. PLANNING: It involves problem prioritization, goal and objective formulation, identification of strategies or interventions and alternatives, and writing the family nursing care plan. IMPLEMENTATION: Implementation of interventions involves the actual execution of the nursing care or client self-care regimen. Nursing interventions are based on principles of nursing care which serves as guides for the action taken. It may be: 1) Dependent when the nurse functions in relation to a medical care plan 2) Independent when the nurse performs in her own responsibility 3) Collaborative when the nurse performs in conjunction with other disciplines and the recipients of health services EVALUATION: This involves the examination of the outcome of a chosen action in terms of its success in meeting the objectives of intervention. It is an appraisal of whether or not the nursing assessment and interventions have met the recipients needs or has contributed to the solution of a problem.

A primary health care worker / nurse needs to formulate a family health care plan so as to discover and appraise health needs and problems through combining public health nursing efforts with those of other professional workers. The competence of the family and the individual to cope with their own health problems would be developed. It can also contribute to the personal and social development of individuals and families through health activities. Lastly, formulating a family health care plan brings families an understanding of non-nursing health services within or outside the agency where the nurse is working, and provides the families with the necessary information and encouragement to use resources wisely and fully. Providing care in the clients home rather than in a hospital or a clinic gives the nurse a totally different perspective, and presents a more accurate picture of the individual as part of a family and a community system. Home nursing care takes place in the clients territory, and health care planning responsibilities are shared equally by the health care provider and the client family.

During the planning phase, the nurse establishes a verbal or written contract with the family. This permits both the family and the nurse to know personal roles and responsibilities in the relationships. Empowering family members is significant to clients. With empowerment, we can not only formulate a participatory family health care plan, but also people can help themselves for a lifetime and become independent decision makers for their own health. The nurse and the family must work together collaboratively to develop a list of goals, strategies, and expected outcomes. The family prioritizes its identified needs, and a plan of care begins with the formulation of interventions or actions.

At the end of our health worker family- client relationship, decisions will be made regarding the patients need which can be met within the context of the nurse-patient relationship. The solutions often depends upon the willingness of individuals, families, and community groups to make careful decisions on whether to pursue a long course of action or to change fundamental patterns of living. To achieve the desired ends, the nurse and the family, agency, or community group must establish a relationship that permits us to work together in such a way that the best efforts of both can be put together to improve the situation. Health needs and problems will have its solution either long term or short term. Lastly, preventive measures will be implemented to minimize reaching the curative stage of treatment.

Since Smith is the eldest among the two brothers and has the highest educational attainment, he is considered as the head of the family but most of the times the two brothers share their income together with Mrs. Sabaina. Their decision making especially to finances were talked about within the family. Money is really hard for them to produce since the two brothers are only contractual to the fields that they are working with. So sometimes they receive their food from neighborhood or nursing students who gives them food to eat. Mrs. Sabaina and his two sons have a satisfying relationship with each other. Even though they fight at times, conflicts are easily resolved. They settle their differences right away so that problems wont grow or increase in severity. Mrs. Sabaina cooks for the family. At her condition all her actions are limited only. His sons were always out to do their farming and earn for their family. They seems to have a good relationship since Mrs. Sabaina smiles oftenly. Overall, the family members interact with each other repeatedly in many contexts. They engage in flexible role relationships, are democratic, respond to change, support growth and autonomy of others, and engage in decision making that affects them. The family also has few outside friends like their neighbors. They had also relatives from other Sitios and sometimes visits them to have a small talk and help each other.

B.

Socio-economic and Cultural Characteristics

Mr. Smith and Arthur works as a farmer. Their income were not approximated or estimated because they are only contractual. Mrs. Sabaina is not employed and is only at their home. Their income is not enough to meet their monthly expenses which include food allowances. Mr. Smith is the ones who have the final say on how the money is spent since he has the highest educational attainment and eldest among the two brothers.

Table 3. Monthly Budget of Expenses

Food allowances are only available if one of the brothers got money from the field they were working. They don't have any other aspects such as water and electricity to be part of their expenses since this is free for them. They don't take any medicines and buy any other clothing. They are all on the adulthood so nobody is still studying. The family is a native of the place and are all Kankanaey. They are members of the Anglican church and sometimes go to church and hear a mass.

Home and Environment The family owns house including the house near them. It includes a one bedroom which is used as a living room, kitchen, and a dining room all-in-one. They all sleep in one bedroom since it is all in one. The house is made up of wood and concrete though it needed a few repairs, it cannot be destroyed by any natural calamity such as a typhoon in low signal number. Rain water cannot also enter. There were no electricity available for them. There is sufficient ventilation since the place were near the trees and is very refreshing . The house is dirty since not all things in the house are properly arrange. Also Mrs. Sabaina's clothing and he inside of the house were dirty. Dusts are everywhere and the place were not kept cleaned. Breeding and resting sites of insects such as cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes are present in the structure of the house because of many small spaces between the walls. They were used with their surroundings so they didn't problem much on their place's present condition. Pointed, sharp objects and medicines which are improperly

kept and the presence of steep stairs predisposes as an accident hazard since At night they only use a candle and Mrs. Sabaina used to walk barefoot and has a weak body.
