Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When creating a genogram, it is important to represent three generations of the family. This helps the healthcare provider to identify any patterns that may be present in the family's health history. Additionally, the client is still the focus of the assessment and any treated health issues should still be noted on the genogram. The focus should be on all family members, not just immediate ones.
