Effective family focused nursing actions in this scenario should focus on all three core processes - cathexis, coordination, and caregiving. Cathexis refers to understanding the emotional reactions, feelings, and coping mechanisms of the family members. Coordination involves facilitating communication and collaboration among the various healthcare providers involved in James' care. Caregiving involves providing support and resources to assist the family in caring for James, including education on managing his cerebral palsy and pneumonia. All three core processes are important in providing holistic, family-centered care for James and his family.
