Families benefit from witnessing procedures and resuscitation.Being present helps family members to remove doubt about the condition,witness that everything was done,and decrease anxiety about what is occurring.Increased litigation has not been associated with family presence.Policies and procedures are needed to facilitate family presence.A facilitator is needed,and it may initially require more nursing involvement.It does not eliminate nurses' responsibility for communicating with the family.
