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



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



establishesan environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to

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

better understand individuals and their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more

holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary

take into consideration the maternal and child care continuum.
