    Introduction

    Family Nursing Plan of Care 

    Introduction :

    Community nurses hold a unique position in the healthcare delivery 

    system in that they remain in prolonged and closest relationship and 

    proximity with the ailing patient while in the hospital setting or while 

    a patient with long-term health problem is being cared for at home in 

    the community setting . In the recent time explorations of different ways 

    of delivering better and more effective health care , nursing practice 

    has seen drastic changes in the attitude toward the patients . Nursing no 

    longer is mere task orientation it is beginning to comprehend the 

    holistic existence of an individual with a life beyond the experiences 

    of illness . The patients as members of the family and the family of the 

    patients have special needs , since both are altered irrevocably as a 

    result of the prolonged illnesses in the family setting . Family refers 

    to the ancestors , to parents and siblings , to other living relatives , to 

    spouses and children , and to relationships and identity . The nurses who 

    work in the community setting would need to recognize these factors , and 

    they would certainly regard the family as partners in care delivery . Due 

    to focus on the patient , it is most often forgotten that the family 

    nurses often provide support to and encourage involvement of the other 

    members of the family in to ensure continuity of care for the 

    original client . Factually , thus the family of the client is no longer 

    considered as clients , rather regarded as potential resources of 

    community care . The nurses are increasingly being taught and trained on 
    the trend of involving the families in care delivery , and conceptual 

    frameworks are created to facilitate better understanding of family 

    functioning . As a future community care nurse , this author is presenting 

    a case of family care to demonstrate her understanding of the science of 

    family assessment and implementation of family care within the framework 

    to be able to see how her learning and training has been able to meet 

    the challenges of providing increasingly cost effective , research-based ,

    quality healthcare moving out of the institutions in an environment 

    where family and nurse work more closely together .

    Nursing Assessment : The nursing assessment is a science that builds on 

    Orem 's metaparadigm concept . This considers a person as an individual 

    with both physical and emotional requirements for development of self 

    and maintenance of well being . Elaborating this further , the nurse in 

    this environment would play a pivotal role to modify the surroundings of 

    the patient and improve it further so that the patient is able to 

    implement self care . Thus , the patient 's illness is no longer an organic 

    dysfunction , is rather an effective care would mean restoration of the 

    patient 's structural and functional soundness with respect to the 

    wholeness of the individual . Nursing has the responsibility to assess 

    the self-care deficits , actual or potential , and the nurses would be 

    specially trained to help a person or his family to deal with such 

    deficits .
