The members of a family are self-defined.The family includes whoever the woman says are family members.The nurse should include all those members in health care planning.Asking who the father of each child is does not help define the family; the client needs to define the family.Knowing if there is or is not a register of families on the commune does not help the client define her own family.The client may or may not include the significant other in her definition of a family,so this may not assist in making this determination.
