3. Educational materials that consider the health literacy of families.
4. A family's fears and anxiety about an individual member's illness.

A technological environment, a nurse's stance of power, and family's concerns in a health-care system introduce possible barriers to communication. Written documents and education materials that consider health literacy have the opportunity to provide information and reduce anxiety.
