Health is defined as state of complete physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, and not merely
the absence of disease. (WHO, 1948)
Health is defined as in terms of role and performance “health is the ability to maintain normal roles,”
according to Talcott Parson. (1951)
Fundamentals of Nursing, Kozier, pg. 171

knows the proper ways on how to keep herself healthy and clean. She also knows what type of medications she
would take for her illness. The client also has a tendency of acquiring hypertension because they have a history of

mga 4 times a week. Tapos in a day, hindi ko matandaan kung ilang beses ako kung umihi, pero sa tancha ko mga 5
times a day, basta pagkagising saka bago ako matulog talagang naihi ako”. She characterized her stool as soft,
purigent and color brown while her urine as amber, transparent and aromatic. With regards to her elimination
patterns, she also verbalized, “Hindi naman ako nakakarmdam ng discomfort when I’m doing these activities”.
During the interview, the client is not sweating.
Analysis:
The act of defecation is usually painless. If the bowels move at regular intervals and the stools are
formed and soft, functional problems involving frequency of elimination seldom occur. Many people become
concerned if they do not have a daily bowel movement, but there is no “normal” frequency of bowel movements.
Although many adults pass one stool each day, other healthy people have more frequent or less frequent bowel
movements. Some people have a bowel movement two or three times a week; others, two or three times a day.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Taylor, pg. 1340
Interpretation:
Based on the client’s statement, her elimination pattern is normal because she defecates four times a
week and urinates five times a day. In addition to this, she describes her feces as soft that is why she does not feel
any discomfort during elimination.

naman akong problems with my mental function pero sa sight, meron. I have an astigmatism kaya nga I wear
eyeglass to correct this deficit.” According to her, she had her last eye check-up last 2 months ago. Her easiest way
of learning things is through reading and understanding what she is reading. “So far hindi pa naman ako nahihirapan
matuto,” she added.

appropriately through thought and action.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Kozier, pg. 671
Interpretation:

has to wear eyeglasses to correct that deficit. She does not have any learning difficulty because she can acquire
things easily. Reading helps her in learning things because she can gather much information from it.
Interpretation:
The client has a good perception and positive concept about herself despite of having a hectic schedule.
She has a great self- esteem and self- confidence.
Analysis:
A positive self- concept is essential to a person’s physical and psychologic well- being. When
individuals are able to conceptualize the self, they begin a life long process of deciding whether and to what extent
they are valuable and worthy.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Barbara Kozier, pg. 970
Analysis:
8 hours of sleep a night has been the accepted standards for adults. It is important, however, that each
person follow a pattern of rest that maintains well-being.
Adults average sleep is 7 to 9 hours. Those who are able to relax and rest easily, even while awake,
often find that less sleep is needed, whereas others may find that more sleep is required to overcome fatigue.
Sleep patterns of older adults vary. However, older people often need more time to fall asleep, wake
earlier, and more frequently during the night, and are less able to cope with changes in their usual sleep patterns than
younger people are.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Taylor, pgs. 1172-1173
Interpretation:
The client sleeps only for 4-6 hours only because she finds it hard to sleep at night due to excessive
amount of coffee intake and also because of too much school requirements. When she wakes up in the morning, she
does not feel refreshed because she did not get enough sleep which makes her feel sleepy during daytime.
K. Role-Relationship Pattern

has two younger siblings, a boy and a girl. She lives in Manila with her auntie, and the housekeeper. Her and her
family lives in the province of Isabela. The client verbalized, “First time ko lang malayo with my family at yun ay
simula nung nag-college ako.” The significant persons in her life are her family and friends. She has a good
relationship with her family because they are close to each other and talk about all matters. She plays the role of
being a good daughter to her parents and a good sister to her siblings. She actually fulfills her role by
communicating with them even though they are living apart. They have some family problems with regards to their
finances. There were times that their resources are insufficient because of high cost of tuition fee. Whenever they
have problems they talk about it and discuss it with the whole family so that they can solve it easily. Her relationship
with her family and friends are the most significant and important relationships in her life. Their usual activities are
going to church, eating together and having recreational activities. The client belongs to a bible study group that
serves as her support system.
Analysis:
Families that communicate effectively transmit messages clearly. Members are free to express their
feelings without fear of jeopardizing their standing in the family. Family members support one another and have the
ability to listen, emphatize, and reach out to one another in times of crisis.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Kozier, pg. 193
Interpretation:
Based on the relationship pattern of the client, she has a good relationship and open communication
with all her family members. One of the problems they encounter is about financial problem due to some payment in
her school like the tuition fee. When it comes to family problem, they discuss it with all of the members of the
family to be able for them to solve it.
Analysis:
At day 28, menses, or the menstrual flow, begins as a result of the uterus, shedding the useless portion
of its endometrium. Menses lasts for 3 to 7 days, the average length of flow being 5 days.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Taylor, pg. 933
Interpretation:
Based on the client’s statement, she menstruates regularly which is usually for about 7 days but she
experiences dysmenorrheal every month which is not normal among women.
Analysis:
Spirituality shapes the self-becoming and is reflected in one’s being, knowing and doing. Spirituality
permeates life, providing purpose, strength and guidance and shaping the journey. Cultivate wisdom and helps us
find meaning in life, be in relationship with others, be true to ourselves, live in uncertainty and mystery, deal with
suffering, sickness, and honor life transitions. Cultivate awareness of the sacred dimension of life through practices
such as worship prayer, meditation and singing. Help us be generous in service to others. Respect our
connectedness as fellow human being.
Interpretation:
The client has her own values and beliefs in accordance on how she deals with her life.
N. Coping Stress
According to the client, her most stressful event is when there’s too many school works and
requirements. She copes with her problem by playing the guitar, singing and travelling to different places where she
has never been before. These activities really help her a lot and she doesn’t take any medication for emotional
distress. She doesn’t feel any tension at all. Her best friend is the one who helps her in taking things over. According
to the client, she and her best friend are only one call away from each other. The big change she considers in her life
tooks place last year during her first year in college, it was her first time to live in Manila. It was very hard for her to
adjust which took her 1 year and another big change was when her mother decided to wok in United States of
America.
Analysis:
Stress is a part of life: everyone feels stress at one time or another. Feeling “stressed out” is common,
and taking “stress breaks” to do physical exercise is recommended in many work settings. The experience of stress
and the ways have responds to it are unique to each individual. The process of responding to stress is constant and
dynamic and is essential to the person’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. Stress and adaption are major
components in health and illness.
Fundamentals of Nursing, Taylor, pg. 849
Interpretation:
The client is not that much stressed because the one that she is experiencing is common among students.
A major factor causing her stress was the change in environment. She was used in living at the province of Isabela
and had to move in Manila because of her studies. Basically, a student in distress needs to unwind in order to be
refreshed. On the case of the client, her ways of freeing herself of hassle and bustle were to play the guitar, to sing
and to go to places she has never been before. She is the kind of person, who would stick to her peers, specifically
her bestfriend unlike other students who would undergo medications just to cope up with stress.
