Contracting is making an agreement between those involved in a shared effort by both nurse and family.The premise of contracting is family control.It is assumed that when the family has legitimate control,their ability to make healthful choices is increased.A family crisis ocurs when the family is not able to cope with an event and becomes disorganized or dysfuntional.Making a pledge through contracting is a way to cope with a family crisis.Empowerment reflects a family seeking help with access and control over needed resources,decision-making and problem-solving abilities,and the ability to communicate and to obtain needed resources.The pledge does not address the multiple components of empowerment.Health risk reduction is based on the assumption that decreasing the number or the magnitude of risks will decrease the probability of an undesired event occurring.The pledge does not address multiple health risks.
