HW in the family and a near clinic in the community.
C.Preventive 2.25 Moderate preventive potential because the problem is not 2.25/3 x 1 0.75
Potential yet resolved, they all have the resources but they give less
importance to the problem
D.Salience 1 Low Salience because the family verbalized it as a problem 1/2 x 1 0.5
