Prioritization - Inadequate Sleep and Rest & Presence of Breeding Sites

The document discusses two potential health threats: 1) Inadequate sleep and rest for a mother, which can affect her health and immune system but is difficult for her to modify her personal habits. It has moderate preventative potential. 2) The presence of breeding sites for disease vectors like mosquitoes, which can cause diseases like dengue. This is easily modifiable as the family is willing to eradicate the vectors and preventable through simple nursing interventions if the family cooperates. Neither problem is perceived as salient by the family.
