Exploring Values and Beliefs in Family Nursing Practice: Patient Selection and Assessment

Selecting Patients and Making Assumptions

The purpose of this assignment is to explore your values and beliefs related to family nursing and family health promotion and to consider how they impact decision-making processes and professional judgment in nursing practice. By examining one’s values and beliefs through critical reflection, assumptions in practice can be challenged to facilitate a preliminary shift in attitude, which is part of transformational learning.

As a nurse, if you had the ability to select your patient assignments from the list of bios below, which 3 patients would you choose? What guided you in this decision-making process? What are some assumptions you had about the patients and families based on the descriptions alone? How would you proceed with the family nursing assessment and family health promotion with your selected patients? (5 marks)

From the same list of bios below, which 3 patients would you not choose if choice was an option? What influenced you in this decision-making process? What are some assumptions you had about these patients and families based only on the descriptions? How would you proceed with the family nursing assessment and family health promotion for this group of patients? (5 marks)

What family nursing theory/theories guided you in your family nursing assessment and family health promotion for both groups of patients? (4 marks)
