Under the F section of the assessment process, in addition to full vital signs, the family is considered as a part of the treatment process. Which approach to the family would be most appropriate for the nurse to use?
◦ The family gets in the way of acute care management, so the nurse should offer no support until the patient is stable.
◦ Because the care during trauma management can be too graphic for family to witness, the family should not be allowed at the bedside.
◦ Ethically the family has a right to support the patient by being at the bedside during acute care management, including trauma resuscitation.
◦ Depending on the family's awareness of health care management, they have the privilege to watch the care if they do not get in the way of the care.
