PRIORITIZATION OF THE PROBLEM

Problem: Inadequate Exercise / Activity Intolerance


Criteria Computation Justification
Nature of the Problem 2/3 x 1 = 0.67 The problem is a health
threat and this does not
demand an immediate
action, but interventions
towards this problem would
prevent untoward
consequences from
happening in the future.
Modifiability of the Problem 1/2 x 2 = 1 The problem is moderately
modifiable since current
knowledge that would solve
it is available. The family has
also the resources needed to
help solve the problem such
as their manpower but
sometimes slacks off.
Preventive Potential 3/3 x 1 = 1 The problem is not that
severe so the preventive
potential is high and since
the family is somehow taking
a walk from going to stores
and implementing a short
daily morning exercises can
prevent unwanted
consequences of inadequate
exercise.
Salience of the Problem ½ x 1 = 0.5 The family recognizes it as a
problem but verbalizes that
immediate action is not
required since nobody has
not yet been very ill because
of inadequate exercise.

Problem: Flood Prone Area / Risk for Contamination


Criteria Computation Justification
Nature of the Problem 2/3 x 1 = 0.67 It is a health threat that does
not need immediate action
but needs interventions in
order to prevent untoward
consequences from
happening in the future.
Modifiability of the Problem ½x2=1 The problem is not that
easily modifiable since the
problem has been there for
years. The family did contact
responsible for the drainage
system though it’s not yet
fixed also they do not have
much manpower and time
alone.
Preventive Potential 2/3 = 0.67 The problem is not that
severe so the preventive
potential is moderate and
since the family is somehow
aware of the problem, they
do some preventive
measures such as wearing
boots when its flooded.
Salience of the Problem 2/2 x 1 = 1 The family recognizes it as a
problem and verbalizes that
immediate action is required
so that no further infections
will happen.
