Nature of the condition or problems presented. Scale **: Wellness state Health deficit Health threat Foreseeable crisis 2. Modifiability of the condition or problem Scale **: Easily Modifiable Partially Modifiable Not Modifiable 3. Preventive Potential Scale **: High Moderate Low 4. Salience Scale **: A condition or problem needing immediate attention A condition or problem not needing immediate attention Not perceived as a problem or condition needing change Weight 1 3 3 2 1 2 2 1 0 1 3 2 1 1 2
Scoring: 1) Decide for a score on each of the criteria. 2) Divide the score by the highest possible score and multiply by the weight. (Score / Highest Score) x Weight 3) Sum up the score for all the criteria. The highest score is 5 equivalent to the total weight. y Developed by Salvacion G. Bailon and Arceli S. Maglaya. For details see article: Tools and Guidelines for Nursing at the Family Level . The Anphi Papers, 22(1):13,1977. Updated by S.S. Maglaya in 2003. Figures (0,1,2,3) for the weights and scales values are arbitrary, dictated more by convenience in computation.
Possible Preeclampsia Actual Score 1
Criteria 1. Nature of the problem 2. Modifiability of the problem 3. Preventive potential
Computation 3/3 x 1
Justification The problem is health deficit and requires more immediate intervention. The resources and interventions needed to solve the problem are available to the family The possibility of the complications during labor and delivery are occurrence of abnormalities in the infant and prevented if preeclampsia is eliminated as early as possible.

Malnutrition Actual Score 1
Criteria 1. Nature of the problem
Computation 3/3 x 1
Justification It is a health deficit and requires immediate management to eliminate untoward consequences. The problem is easily modifiable since the nurse s resources are available; she can help the family on effective budgeting of money and scheduling of time; she can develop the skills of other members to achieve good nutrition proper food selection and preparation, and fedding practices. Susceptibility to other diseases and infections can be prevented if malnutrition is eliminated; normal growth and development can thus be achieved. It is not a felt problem
