FINAL Flashcards
why it is important for individuals and families to be involved in care
• The family plays an integral role in promoting and maintaining the health of family members, as well as providing physical and emotional support.
• Entire families are affected when members experience health issues
- nurses establish collaborative, respectful relationships and gain an understanding of the family concerns through assessment; CHNs identify opportunities to collaboratively plan, intervene, and evaluate the desired goals
- CHNs promote family health by addressing a family’s physical, psychological, spiritual, and sociocultural needs; CHNs can act as a resource person and help families navigate the health system to obtain the needed support and preventive services or care
