You ask the family to recall all past concrete events that caused them worry, concern, or grief that was related to one family member's addiction to drugs

You have a "family session" to discuss the personal growth and goals of each family member who has been affected by the addicted family member. You allow time for them to vent their feelings and respect the perspective of each family member. This is an example of a nursing intervention to: 1. deal with destructive behaviors. 2. change family behaviors. 3. help solve family problems. 4. establish a nurse-family relationship.
