Family front line Article Critique Inez Robbins Liberty University November 26, 2012 Abstract Family front at the bedside during resuscitation is starting to become standard protocol in many exigency departments but research is limited in this area. The objective of the article reviewed is to explore the nurses perception of the benefit and/or harm to the family in a facility that has well established family front man protocols. The nurses perceptions of the effects on the family provide a supreme influence on two the family members and the interdisciplinary team that is caring for the patient.The study confirmed long-term participation yields positive effects on the perception of family posture at the bedside during resuscitation in the tweak department. The nursing perception offers insight on the care and compassion towards the family in their critical time of need. Future nursing implications, proximo nursing research, and honest implications are discussed, as there is a further need for schooling and research in these areas of professional nursing development. Key words Family carriage, resuscitation, nurse, perception.Family Presence Article Critique Review of Article A review of the Elinar Lowry, PhD, RNs article Its Just What We Do A soft Study of Emergency Nurses Working with Well-Established Family Presence Protocol published in the Journal of Emergency Nursing volume 38, number four in July of 2012 aims to describe the benefits and harm to patients family members who were present during patient resuscitation based on the perceptions of nurses whom reckon within a facility with an established family heading protocol.The article describes a study performed in which fourteen emergency room nurses perception of their experiences with family presence during resuscitation is documented. The facility in which all fourteen nurses were employed had a family presence protocol since 1992 (Lowry, 2012). There were pointed open-ended questions ask ed. These questions were meant to allow the nurses to elaborate on experiences that were both positive and negative. The results of the study found that nurses perceived there were benefits experienced by the family in several ways (Lowry, 2012).Some of these were family was able to see the evolution of events or the patients progress during the resuscitation. The family was also able to confirm the reason used to save their loved one. Lastly, nurses confirmed that they felt the families appreciated that everything practicable was through to save their family member. There was no perception of harm done to the family through observation of resuscitative measures (Lowry, 2012). Future Nursing Practice Implications of this study for future nursing practice suggest that long-term participation is directly tie in to acceptance of family presence by nursing.This information is encouraging for nurses whom wish to save up and establish family presence protocols within their facilities (Lowry, 2012). Care should be taken to discern and educate on tolerance of family member behaviors. Family presence protocols should also involve limitations for the number of family members allowed at the bedside during resuscitative measures so that the module members feel secure and cosy with family presence practices (Lowry, 2012).Future Nursing Research Implications for future nursing research tie in to family presence should include family members who take part in family presence. All staff members should be surveyed to conclude the overall cultural belief on family presence (Lowry, 2012). Other potential topics for studies include the right time to request the familys presence, how to integrate new hire nurses into a potentially unfamiliar family presence protocol or practice (Lowry, 2012). Ethical IssuesAll of the nurses interviewed during this study held that family presence during resuscitation was the ethically right thing. Some of the nurses reported feelings of per sonal anguish at the family members suffer their loved ones. They also describe compassionate care to those family members (Lowry, 2012).
