Conclusion :

I took Mr. Ramanbhai family for my case study. I visited his for some 5 days during the first
week of my visit to the community. His wife Mrs.Kamriben has D.M and Hypertension since last 10
years and I Finally gave her health education on Diet, personal hygiene and exercise.

Self – experience :

It was best part of my community visit. First I have learned to maintain good rapport with the
family members.From the study, I have explored my problem solving and teaching ability. From the
family unit, I came to know how to approach the community and how to maintain communication
with different age group and how to manage antenatal mother. It was very useful for me to uplift my
knowledge in the community care aspect.
