Feedback
1 An ecogram is a visual representation showing relationships, activities, and influences a person has in the family system; it does not focus on illness information.
2 An ecomap helps the nurse visualize the various activities and relationships of the family with the larger ecological environment; it does not focus on illness information.
3 Detailed illness information can be added to a genogram to create a family pedigree depicting transmission of such things as genetic conditions, familial conditions, and psychosocial patterns, such as chemical dependency and suicide. The genogram can be useful to aid early diagnosis, identification of risk factors for particular conditions, and to reveal potential prevention strategies.
4 Geographic information systems capture, store, analyze, and display referenced information about specific environmental concerns that are geographically and ecologically pertinent to families; they do not focus on illness information.
