About this title

Synopsis

All practitioners know patients' families are significant to successful care, but often nurses serve as the primary contact point for families dealing with significant illness or injury. Wright (nursing emeritus, U. of Calgary) and Leahey (practitioner) work through the Calgary Family Assessment Model and also through the Calgary Family intervention Model to give nurses practical ways to anticipate, conduct and document family interviews. They describe when and how to intervene, and how to terminate with families they have helped. They include methods to sort out blended and non-traditional families and give case studies with a range of situations. For this edition they have provided a new chapter on avoiding common errors in family nursing. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
