Post discharge, the client is returning to their home environment. In assisting the client with that, specifically in implementing family-centered care, the nurse:

1. Provides personal beliefs regarding problem-solving
2. Assists the family members to assume dependent roles
3. Works with the client to accept responsibility for role in discourse
4. Offers both client and family information about necessary self-care abilities

ANSWER

ANS: 4
When implementing family-centered care, the nurse adopts the role of educator and offers in-formation about necessary self-care abilities. In family-centered care, the nurse guides the family in problem solving without providing his/her own beliefs. In family-centered care, the nurse as-sists clients to assume independent roles by increasing family members’ abilities in certain areas. In family-centered care, the nurse guides the family in problem solving, not in helping them ac-cept blame.
