How to Write or Carryout Family Case Study
A family case study or case study is carried out or written systematically following a step-by-step approach:
Select your client: Carefully select the client that will lead you to his/her family comfortably. You can select your client from the hospital, health center, homes, schools, living environment, etc. There must be a problem to solve that will take you to his/her home.
Consent from client and family: You should find out if it’s convenient for the family if your visit. If not possible, do not force it rather talk to the close relations about it.
Entrance to the family: This is an exciting moment as it gives excitement to you for gaining entrance. If the health worker does not gain entrance, he may not succeed in his studies. You must be tactful, polite, cultured, and caring. You must be very observant and feel relaxed as this opportunity will help you to learn much about the family. You will discover more about the family and, as such achieve your care. You will discover many things about the family, such as the setup, the relationship between the members of the family, the environment around the family, the amenities, their vulnerability, etc. Keep every discovered secret to yourself, don’t bastardize the privilege.
Progression and success of care to the family: Once you have gained entrance and somehow become part of the family, you will have enough care for the members of the family, and continue to visit the family as the need arises until you complete your care of the family.
Record your visits: Every visit must be planned and effectively documented for continuity of care. Only the data with relevance should be documented to avoid confusion. This family care study must be documented according to the laid down format from the institution of study to ensure uniformity in care and documentation.
Family organogram: This is a diagrammatic way of presenting family history. Much information about the family can be seen in an organogram limiting much writing. It helps you the health worker to see the family at a glance. More of the family problems and lineage can be deduced from the organogram. It saves you time for other things.
Pulse rate:This is the number of pulsations per minute.
Rhythm/regularity: This is the Rhythm of pulse rate refers to the regularity to which pulse waves occur.
Quality of pulse: This is the strength of the palpated pulse pulsation.
Volume/Strength: This refers to the fullness of the pulse wave palpated in the artery.
Condition of the artery: This is the compliance of the arteries.
Why do we check pulse rate?
To know the measurement of both the heart rate and rhythm.
To know the response of the heart to cardiac medication, activity, and gas exchange.
To know the response of patients to any related medication.
What are the parameters that affect normal pulse rate?
Age: As you increase in age, the pulse rate also decreases. Take, for instance, a newborn heart rate is always higher than an adult’s heart rate. This is because their body tends to generate and circulate enough heat round their body so as to maintain their body temperature and avoid hypothermia since their thermoregulatory center is immature.
Anxiety: This brings about a physiological process that tends to increase your heart rate, as well as pulse rate.
Exercise: As you exercise your body, there is an increase in the pumping action of the heart which as a result increases your pulse rate.
Fever: Fever resulting from any illness has a way of increasing the pulse rate.
Fear and Pain: As one becomes afraid, the adrenaline is released to prepare the body for a fight or flight action.
Foodstuff: Some foodstuffs such as caffeinated beverages tend to induce the sympathetic nervous system thereby releasing mediators and hormones, which increase heart rate and pulse rate.
Medication: Some drugs like digoxin decrease heart pumping action.
Anemia

“Please note that the notice for reopening the verification portal will be communicated to you in due course.
“Please accept the assurances of our Registrar/CEO’s highest regards.”
When our correspondent logged into the portal on Wednesday, it was discovered that the “licence verification” button beside the “Reissue licence” button had been deactivated.
The deactivation of the portal has, however, raised concerns among nurses and midwives practising in Nigeria and outside the country.
A nurse, Jude Chiedu, said, “The lack of communication and transparency surroundi.

Breast milk is the only food and drink a baby needs in the first six months of life.
This is because breast milk is good for your baby’s stomach and supplies all the food your baby needs. It makes your baby grow and develop well and protects them against sicknesses like diarrhea.
Although, it makes your baby cry after breastfeeding maybe your baby’s mouth was not well put to the breast and did not get enough breast milk. It may also be that your baby has swallowed air while sucking and is feeling uncomfortable. Whenever this happens, kindly put your baby on the shoulder, rub the back until your baby belches, and put your baby back to the breast to continue.
What To Do If You Discover Your Baby Is Not Growing Well
If regular weighing or discover that your always breastfed baby under six months is not growing well. It could be due to that.
You may need to breastfeed your baby more frequently and should make him suckle in the proper way for a longer period of time. Do not be in a hurry to breastfeed your baby as you are not in a hurry to feed yourself.
You may help your baby to take more of the breast into his mouth.
Also, it could be that your baby is ill and should be taken to a trained health worker.
Babies Must Not Be Given Water At All In The First Six Months Of Life
As soon as your baby begins to suck your breast immediately after birth, it helps to make your breast milk flow very well. It also helps your womb to contract (tighten) and stop unnecessary bleeding.
The size of the mother’s breast does not determine the amount of breast milk so long as the mother is well-fed.
On no account should the baby be separated from his mother as soon as the baby is delivered, right from the hospital bed except if either the mother or the baby is ill and needs a separate treatment.
No food or water should be given to the baby during the first six months of life apart from breast milk. Any drink or food aside from breast milk may be dangerous to the baby.
When To Start Breastfeeding Your Newborn After Delivery
Newborns are supposed to be kept very close to their mothers and the mothers should breastfeed their newborns within 30 minutes of birth. No drinks like glucose drinks, honey, pap, or other foods before starting breastfeeding except water until when the baby starts to suck well. This helps to make the mother’s breastmilk flow well, stops unnecessary bleeding, and the womb gets tightened as the baby immediately starts to suck the breast after birth.
Make sure your baby sucks the first yellowish milk (colostrum) that first comes out of the breast because it makes the baby stronger.
How Often You Should Breastfeed Your Baby
A baby should be breastfed more often at night because the breast milk flows more at night. If your baby sleeps for more than two hours after breastfeeding, you should wake the baby up gently and offer the baby breast milk.
Signs That Your Baby Is Feeding Well
The baby’s mouth is wide open.
The baby’s jaw is touching the mother’s breast.
More of the dark skin around the mother’s nipple (areola) can be seen above the baby’s mouth, than below it.
The baby takes long, deep sucks.
The mother does not feel any pain in the nipple.
The baby is not crying while sucking.
Why You Should Breastfeed Your Baby
Breastfeeding helps protect babies and young children against serious illnesses such as diarrhea, and ear and chest infectios. It also creates a special closeness between mother and child.
Babies who are breastfed usually get more attention from their mothers and learn faster than those who are fed with feeding bottles or do not breastfeed at all.
The Use Of Feeding Bottles For Babies
Using feeding bottles can lead to illnesses and death. Feeding bottles should never be used. When a mother cannot breastfeed her baby, her breast milk should be pressed into a clean cup and then given to the baby. This is because it is easier to keep the cup clean than to clean the feeding bottle. The feeding bottles can even contain some unwanted microbial growth which can make the baby sick.
When the baby is not able to suck, the mother should press out (express) her breast milk into a clean cup and then feed the baby.
How Breast Milk Is Stored
Breast milk can be stored in a clean stainless storage cup that has a cover, put in a bowl of water, and kept in a cool part of the room. When breast milk is kept this way, it can remain good for up to 8 hours.
When To Begin Other Foods For Your Baby After 6 Months Of Breastfeeding
From the age of six months, babies need other foods in addition to breastmilk. Breastfeeding should continue for up to two years. It should be given before other foods to ensure the child takes plenty of it every day. At this stage, breastmilk continues to be an important source of energy, protein, and other nutrients such as Vitamin A and iron.
In the second year, breastmilk should be given after meals and at other times.
How To Give Your Baby Breastmilk And Other Foods
From 6 to 9 months: Breastfeed frequently and give your baby other foods 2 to 3 times and 1 and 2 snacks (e.g. fruits) a day.
From 9 to 12 months: Breastfeed frequently and give him/her family foods 3 to 4 times and 1 to 2 snacks a day.
From 12 to 24 months: Breastfeed your frequently and give other family foods, either chopped or mashed if necessary 3 to 5 times each day and 1 to 2 snacks a day.
In Nigeria, these complementary family local foods are okra, ogbono, ewedu, bean soup with small soft balls of fufu, amala, soft pounded yam, semovita, two, garri (eba, and others such as rice, beans with vegetable stew, yam portage, powdered crayfish, vegetables, pap, with groundnut paste and palm oil. Plantains (ripe) with palm oil and crayfish and vegetable.
Ways To Breastfeed Your Baby As A Working Class Nursing Mother
Working-class mothers are supposed to take advantage of crèche facilities (special places where babies are kept during working hours) at their workplaces to breastfeed their babies as often as they can. If it’s not possible to locate a crèche around the place of your work, they should breastfeed often when they are together with their babies, or press their breast milk into a clean stainless cup and properly store it before going to work. This should be fed to her baby with a clean cup while she’s away.
Giving any other type of milk either cow or artificial is not acceptable, and if they can not breastfeed because of medical conditions should visit the health facilities for help.
Exclusive Breastfeeding May Prevent Unplanned Pregnancy
The more you breastfeed your baby for 8 or more times in 24 hours without giving any other food or drink, the longer it will take for the mother’s menstrual period to start again. This may apply for up to six months after birth.
It’s both for the benefit of the mother and the baby if she avoids becoming pregnant again until her young child is at least two years old.
