FCA Problem Identification

The document discusses two health problems - inadequate lighting and inadequate ventilation in a home. [1] Inadequate lighting is a health threat as it increases the risk of family members getting hurt since they cannot see clearly. [2] Inadequate ventilation is also a health threat as it can more easily spread airborne diseases within the family if one member gets sick. [3] Both problems are partially modifiable through low-cost solutions like opening windows, removing thick curtains, and educating the family.

Knowledge of the Family: The family is not aware about the problem because as verbalized by them, they got used to hanging thick curtains unaware that it adds gloom and makes their house impermeable to air.

Family Resources: The family may open the windows during the day thus allowing a free flow of air in the house. They may also open the door to add fresh air exchange.

Student Resources: The students may provide health teachings on ways to prevent the possible occurrence of the effects of the problem.
