Families provide the structure for many health promotion practices; therefore, family assessment informs health promotion and disease prevention appraisal. Additionally, health providers are encouraged to include families in decision-making and encouraging their presence and participation in all aspects of care from acute care to health promotion. Thus, it is important to have assessed the family so that the family can be included in the care process.
