Family should be included in the plan of care as much as possible. The family is a resource to help patients meet health care goals. Meeting some of the family's need as well as the patient's needs will possibly improve the patient's level of wellness. The son should not be asked to leave if at all possible. In some situations, it may be best that family members not remain in the room, but no evidence in the question stem suggests that this is the case in this situation. Suggesting that a female member of the family stay is not justified without a legitimate reason. No reason is given in this question stem for such a suggestion. |
