ʻE lava fēfē ke tau teuteu ha palani ʻalu fakataha?

Kamataʻi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ʻalu ʻoku loto ʻa e tokotaha ke tauhi: ke ʻaʻahi ki he kaume’a, fakatau koloa, ngaahi feʻiloaki, lotu, pe ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ʻiloa.

Feinga ʻa e ʻalu pe tokoni ʻaki ʻa e tokotaha muʻa pea toki fakatuʻutāmaki ia ko e filifili pe taha. Fehuʻi pe loto ʻa e tokotaha ke ʻi ai ha kaungāʻapi pe ke ne ʻalu ʻa ia pē. Ko hotau taʻataʻa ki he palani ʻalu ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakakaukau ke tauhi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻalu ʻoku ʻiloa pea tuku ha taimi ki he liliu ʻo e palani.

Ko e hā kapau ʻoku ou fakakaukau ko e ʻalu hoko ʻe ʻikai malu?

Tokanga ki he tokanga ni moʻoni pea teuteu ha founga kehe ke ʻalu ʻi he taimi ʻoku ke kumi ai ʻa e akonaki vave. Kapau ʻoku lotolotoa fakavavevave ʻa e tokotaha, ko e NHS ʻoku fakahinohino ke ʻave vave ʻa e tokoni moʻui; ʻaʻusia ʻa e tokoni fakavavevave ʻo ho feituʻu. ʻOua ʻe fakakaukau ʻa e liliu vave ʻi he founga ʻo e tokotaha ko ha fekeʻikeʻi fakaʻaho tipiko.

Ki he ngaahi tokanga lahi kehe, fetaʻui ki he foʻituʻi ʻo e tokotaha mo e ʻofisi laisense ʻi he feituʻu ki he ngaahi sitepu ʻoku fe’unga ʻi he feituʻu ʻoku nofo ai. ʻOua ʻe falala ki ha talaʻofa fāmili pe ki he tohi ni ke fakamaʻu ʻa e ngaahi fiema’u lao. Kapau ʻe lava, fakamatala ʻa e palani vave ki he tokotaha pea kau ia ʻi he me’a ʻe hoko hake.

Pēhē ʻe lava ke u tokoni ki he tokotaha kapau kuo ngata ʻa e fakaʻaho?

ʻE lava ke faingataʻa ke ngata ʻa e fakaʻaho ʻo hangē ko e tōʻonga ʻoku mamahi. Fakahāhā ia ʻaki ʻa e moʻoni. Kei fakaafe pe ʻa e tokotaha ki he feituʻu mo e ngāue ʻoku mahuʻinga kiate ia. Foaki ʻa e filifili ʻo e ʻalu, taimi mo e kaungāʻapi ʻi he ʻikai ke fakakaukau ki he ʻalu ko ha ngāue ke pule’i ʻe he kakai.

Vahevahe ʻa e fatongia fakaʻaho mo e fāmili pe kaume’a kapau ʻoku loto ʻa e tokotaha.
