Explorations in Family Nursing examines a systemic approach to care which can be applied widely both in hospital and community settings. Working collaboratively with the family, the nurse is able to strengthen the level of care available to the patient and to promote the health and well-being of the whole family.
Dorothy Whyte examines the theory underpinning family nursing and establishes the principles, including how to make assessments, plan interventions and evaluate progress. Chapters on caring for chronically and terminally ill children, the elderly, adolescent problems, children with learning disabilities and patients in intensive care demonstrate how widely family nursing strategies can be applied in practice.
