Often, the admission of a family member to the hospital creates conflict and stress for family members
This is the case for the White family, who ask the nurse caring for an elderly family member multiple questions and for explanations about their father's recent admission to the hospital for pancreatitis. Which of the following environmental factors is supportive of family-focused nursing care? 1. Prior family priorities and routines assist the health-care team to concentrate on the family's perceptions of priorities of care. 2. Multiple questions suggest that family members are not absorbing the information that is being provided to them; they need to be provided with more online resources to use at times that are convenient for them. 3. The family is likely to be disagreeing with one another about what should be happening with the care of their father; the nurse should seek out a key family member to discuss concerns rather than meeting with the entire family. 4. Information needs to be given in understandable language, with the use of pictures drawn to illustrate concepts starting at the time of admission to the hospital.
