Criteria Computation Actual Score Justification

The document summarizes three potential health threats for a family: 1) Improper garbage disposal, which scores highest due to being a communicable health threat where interventions are available. 2) Family size beyond resources, which scores lowest as the problem is not perceived as urgent and knowledge of family planning is limited. 3) Improper hygiene, which is modifiable with health teachings but is not seen as the highest priority problem. Nursing problems identified include limited resources/knowledge about garbage disposal, inadequate knowledge of condition severity, and inability to support family needs due to financial and size constraints.
