How can nurses manage social interactions with patients' families?
Managing social interactions with patients' families involves:
- Providing Clear Information: Keeping families informed about the patient's condition and care plan. - Showing Empathy: Acknowledging the family's emotions and concerns. - Involving Them in Care: Encouraging family participation in the patient’s care when appropriate. - Setting Realistic Expectations: Being honest about what can and cannot be done to manage expectations.
