WRAP-UP ACTIVITY
Family health assessment is the process of gathering information regarding
health promotion and illness preventive initiatives from the family. The
nurse's judgments regarding the family composition, norms, standards,
theoretical knowledge, and communication abilities are all part of the
family evaluation. Reviewing existing information, meeting with the
family, interviewing children and youth as appropriate, meeting with staff
from other agencies, obtaining specialized assessments, identifying the
family's needs and circumstances that contribute to the need for child
welfare intervention, making judgments and decisions about services,
documenting information and decision-making with the family are all
important parts of the process, and assessing progress and requirements on
a continuous basis, and sharing information to the family and other
providers in order to establish and update the service plan.
