It is important to prepare family members for what they should anticipate and what is expected of them, such as what they will observe during the procedure and how they may be asked to assist the healthcare team. This helps to reduce anxiety and promote trust between the healthcare team and the family. It is not necessary or appropriate to use medical terminology that may confuse or intimidate the family, nor to deny their request outright. The healthcare provider may already be aware of the family's request and can communicate directly with them if necessary.
