Rationale:
1. The HOME Inventory is an assessment tool developed to measure the quality and quantity of stimulation and support available to the child in the home environment. Data are collected using interview and observation.
2. The Friedman Family Assessment Tool is a tool used by the nurse to collect data. It does not require family members to fill out questionnaires.
3. The Calgary Family Assessment Model is a tool used by the nurse to collect data. It does not require family members to fill out questionnaires.
4. By illustrating the family's relationships and interactions with social networks in the community, an ecomap enables nurses and other health care providers to visualize the family's social network. Family participation in the preparation of the ecomap can reveal information about how the family perceives or receives social support, and the strength of family relationships with significant other persons and organizations. The ecomap provides an opportunity to identify the community resources being used by the family and to highlight any potential community resources that might help promote the family's health.
