Families may make unreasonable demands of someone who might be able to help them,and often no human could meet what they request.Furthermore,the needs of the family may be beyond the scope of the nurse's competence or energy,and time and resources become a factor in making decisions about what a nurse can do.The agency and reimbursement mechanisms also dictate the nurse's role.A successful community/public health nurse will be aware of personal strengths and preferences and try to use them whenever possible.Because health is related to all aspects of life,excluding variables not related to health would not really exclude many family desires.External variables in the neighborhood are typically beyond the nurse's ability to repair.
