Question

Explain the difference between using the nursing process in family nursing and using the nursing process in working with individuals

Answer 1

In family nursing the family is taken as a unit and the study is conducted on the each member of the family to assess the common existing problem.

This assessment is based on the socio-cultural aspects as well as the environmental concerns. For the example we can check the stress level in the family members. Then during the family nursing the motivation of the family is accomplished. We can counsel to support and respect the feelings of the each other in the family.

But during the individual nursing the mental, physical and spiritual belief of the individual is assessed. In this the diagnosis treatment is focused on the individual. Then the individualization of the patients is accomplished and the therapy is applied on the individual basis.
