Interventions & Rationale:
1. Check if the family is aware of their health practices. This will help the nurse to know the severity of the health problem.
2. Demonstrate the proper hand washing. The nurse must perform the proper hand washing technique so that the family will be able to see the proper technique. A return demonstration will be necessary so that the nurse can assess if the family members can absorb the lesson.
3. Emphasize the importance of proper hygiene in preventing health problems. This step will enable the family members to know the consequences if health practices were not observed in their family.
4. Listen to the concerns of the family regarding the hindrance to practice such hygienic practices. This will be a way of keeping in touch with the family and facilitate them to be able to find concrete ways to achieve the goal of observing hygienic practices.
