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


ning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family establishesan enviro
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


nment conducive to growth and health-

promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A family-
k k k k k k k k k


centered approach enables nurses to better understandindividuals and their effect on others
k k k k k k k k k k k k


and, in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case manag
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


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