 The "How to" Family
Nursing Series
Developed and Demonstrated by:
Lorraine M. Wright, RN, PhD and Maureen Leahey, RN, PhD
Produced by: FamilyNursingResources.com
This
series presents live clinical scenarios that demonstrate how
to do family nursing in actual practice. Interviews include a family
with young children, middle-aged families and later life families.
The health problems and health care settings are varied, as are the
ethnic and racial groups. Intended for practicing nurses, educators,
undergraduate and graduate nursing students, these programs will
assist nurses to more effectively involve families in healthcare.
These
actual demonstrations are a perfect accompaniment to Wright and
Leahey’s
highly acclaimed award winning text, Nurses and Families:
A Guide to Family Assessment and Intervention. Further programs
