2. It is the process ofdetermining the healthstatus ofthe child using not only the medical
and dental examinations, but also health histories, screening tests, the observations of
teachers and nurses, and even psychological examinations.
Examinations can be done by doctors or school physicians to determine the health status
of the students and to detect the presence of physical defects or impaired health.
The Componentsof Health Appraisal
1. Weighing and Measuring
Regular gain in weight is a sign of health. Every child wants to grown and this need is a
motivating force in encouraging the child/student to maintain the habits of behavior which are
hygienic.
Weighing done by the teacheris an educationprocedure and not a diagnosis ofhealth
status. However, the failure to gain weight for three consecutive months suggests that something
is wrong. Proper methods of weighing and measuring are important. Regular weighing should
be done once a month, on the same day, and at the same time. The measuring of height is
carried out at least twice during the school year.
2. Vision Screening
3. This is done with the use of Snellen Chart. The school has the responsibility of
doing everything to conserve and protect the vision of everybody in school. The teacher
detects the child whose eye disease is indicated by frequent headaches, stress, swollen
orinflamed lid, wateryeyes, ordischarge.Astudentmay complain of nausea, dizziness,
blurred vision, or sensitiveness to light, which may be related to eye conditions.
Snellen Testdetects the loss of visual activity in a screening ofall students near
the beginning of the school year.
3. Health Examination
School provides a brief period for health examination at the opening of the school
year. This allows time for checking the personal appearance of the individual students for
signs of communicable diseases. Teacher observance of the condition is important.
4. Dental Examination
Every child should have his teeth examined and correction of dental defects should
be made before entering schoolfor the first time. Dental inspection should be made at
4. leastonce a yearafter the child starts schooling. Examination of a dentist can be highly
motivating experience in educating students to seek dental health.
5. Breast Examination
Every girl or woman should perform breast examination each month right after
menstruation and report any concernor problems to her physician. If a lump is discoveredin
her breast it should at once be reported to a physician to be diagnosed. Lumps in the
breast vary in size.
