title: [The family, a forgotten patient].
abstract: Presented are ideas, based on the previous work of D. Orem, regarding the need to include the family in the care of an ill member, from the point of view of the health care worker. By including the family as part of the patient care in their nursing plans, nurses can focus on all of the aspects that effect the patients treatment and prognosis.
