Feedback
1 Coordinated family care relies upon collection of information about the family as a unit. Assessing the family household, including living conditions where health and illness occur, gives the nurse important information to plan care.
2 An assessment of family dynamics is obtained through a comprehensive assessment of the family as a unit; it is not obtained through the cooperation of family members in coordinating care.
3 The skill of the nurse is not applied to provide an accurate picture of the nurse-individual-family relationship, but to collect information about the family as a unit in order to plan care, and to develop the nurse-individual-family relationship.
4 Coordinated family care relies upon a comprehensive family assessment, not simply on assessment of family functioning. Family processes need to be assessed in addition to family functioning.
