• A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem,

examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most
effective solution using supporting evidence.
Family Case Analysis (FCA)
* A Family Case Analysis (FCA)is a means by which student nurse

reaches and feel the community through its basic structure – the family.
• It is a tool in determining the health status of a family through assessment and
critical inspection.
• It is a means by which a student nurse alleviate and uplift the living condition of a
family.
• Through this, A case study analysis requires you to investigate a health problem,
examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using
supporting evidence.

Reasons to study family and family nursing
• In nursing it is important to realize that the family unit must be seen as a focus

of our care. Families help with discharge, understanding, support, planning,
continued care, safety, and logistics for each patient.
• Family focus care is important to study and understand because it is vital to our
patients. It will give us a better understanding of the importance of family and
help us implement it into our care.
• Knowledge and understanding developed through family studies can help inform
discussion on critical social, cultural, economic, technological, environmental,
and wellness issues, and can provide a strong foundation for vibrant, healthy,
and engaged citizenship.

• Preparing the Case
• Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and
understand the case study:
• Read and Examine the Case Thoroughly
• Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
• Focus Your Analysis
• Identify two to five key problems.
• Why do they exist?
• How do they impact the organization?
• Who is responsible for them?
Preparing the Case (continued)
• Uncover Possible Solutions/Changes Needed

• Review course readings, discussions, outside research, your experience.
• Select the Best Solution
• Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons. Is this solution
realistic?
• Drafting the Case
• Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis
should include these general sections, but these may differ depending on
your assignment directions or your specific case study:
Main Steps On Writing Case Study Analysis
• After making a basic case study analysis, we can get down to the specific steps of an in-depth
analysis. As a rule, a case study outline includes the following points:
• A. Introduction – Write an introduction where you identify the key problem and make a
summary of the thesis statement in 1 or 2 sentences.
The introduction section is the initial section that "introduces" the reader to the topic of
the case. This section usually includes three parts a): a brief c) the objective of the case report.
Ideally, the introduction is one paragraph of about 3-5 sentences. The background should
detail what information brought the researcher to pose his hypothesis. It should clearly explain
the subject or subjects, as well as their background information.
• B. Background Information – Include some relevant facts and issues and conduct research on
the problem.
writing a case study analysis (continued)
• Include the Family Profile, Socioeconomic status, Religion, ethnicity,
Housing facilities, Environmental condition,
• General Health Condition of the family.
• Health Services availability,
• Societal Relationship of the family
• Cultural and Recreational activities,
• Internal Resources (within the family)and external resources (within the
community).
• Discussion
writing a case study analysis (continued)
• C. Alternatives – Describe several alternatives and explain why some

were rejected. Describe existing constraints and explain why some
alternatives were rejected.
• D. Solution – Provide one realistic solution to the problem, explain the
reasons behind the proposed solution, support this solution with
justification, include relevant theoretical concepts in addition to the results
of your research.
• E. Recommendations – Identify specific strategies to accomplish the
proposed solution, recommend further actions, outline an implementation
plan
Case Study Analysis (continued)
•Recommendations
•Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the proposed solution.
•If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of the issues.
•What should be done and who should do it?
•Finalizing the Case
•After you have composed the first draft of your case study analysis, read through it
to check for any gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure:
•Is your thesis statement clear and direct?
•Have you provided solid evidence?
•Is any component from the analysis missing?
•When you make the necessary revisions, proofread and edit your analysis before
submitting the final draft
Session 1B – Prof . Rodel Ninofranco
• FAMILY NURSING CARE PLAN (FNCP)

Session 2- Topic Outline
• Definition of FNCP
• Features of FNCP
• Steps in making a FNCP
• How to write a family nursing care plan
• Schematic presentation of the NCP by Maglaya
• Sample FNCP.
Family Nursing Care Plan (FNCP)
• Definition
• Is the blueprint of the care that the nurse designs to systematically
minimize or eliminate the identified health and family nursing problems
through explicitly formulated outcomes of care (goals and objectives) and
deliberately chosen set of interventions, resources and evaluation criteari,
standards, methods and tools.
Features FNCP
• The nursing care plan focuses on actions which are designed to solve or minimize
existing problem. The plan is a blueprint for action. The cores of the plan are the
approaches, strategies, activities, methods and materials which the nurse hopes
will improve the problem situation.
• The nursing care plan is a product of a deliberate systematic process. The
planning process is characterized by logical analyses of data that are put together
to arrive at rational decisions. The interventions the nurse decides to implement
are chosen from among alternatives after careful analysis and weighing of
available options.
• The nursing care plan, as with all plans, relates to the future. It utilizes events in
the past and what is happening in the present to determine patterns. It also
projects the future scenario if the current situation is not corrected.
Features FNCP (continued)
• The nursing care plan is based upon identified health and nursing problems. The
problems are the starting points for the plan, and the foci of the objectives of care
and intervention measures.
• The nursing care plan is a means to an end, not an end in itself. The goal in planning
is to deliver the most appropriate care to the client by eliminating barriers to family
health development.
• Nursing care planning is a continuous process, not a one-shot-deal. The results of the
evaluation of the plan’s effectiveness trigger another cycle of the planning process
until the health and nursing problems are eliminated
Steps in Making Family Nursing Care Plan
• The assessment phase of the nursing process generates the health and
nursing problems which become the bases for the development of nursing
care plan. The planning phase takes off from there
How to write a family nursing care plan
Formulating a family care plan involves the following steps:

• The prioritized condition/s or problems.
• The goals and objectives of nursing care.
• the plan of interventions.
• The plan of evaluating care.
Formulating a Care Plan involves the ff. steps
This is a schematic presentation of the nursing care plan proprocess.

• The schematic presentation of the nursing care plan process starts with a list of
health condition or problems prioritized according to the nature, modifiability,
preventive potential and salience.
• The prioritized health condition or problems and their corresponding nursing
problems become the basis for the next step which is the formulation of goals and
objectives of nursing care. The goals and objectives specify the expected
health/clinical outcomes, family response/s, behavior of competency outcomes.

Summary of Session 1
• As a rule, a case study outline includes the following points:
1. Write an introduction where you identify the key problem and make a
summary of the thesis statement in 1 or 2 sentences.
• 2. Background Information – Include some relevant facts and issues and
conduct research on the problem.
• A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem, examine the
alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supportive
evidence. A case study should include background information on the specific
topic, an analysis of the case under student showing problems or effective
strategies, as well as recommendations. Format your paper according to your
assignment instructions: APA Style for APA-style citations and references.
