Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



establishesan environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



to sustain family members during crises. A family-centered approach enables
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



nurses to better understand individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



provide more holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



do not necessary take into consideration the maternal and child care continuum.
