Should family remain in the clinical area as emergency procedures are performed on seniors. This practice is controversial, but the nursing profession supports it, recognizing the important role family plays in a seniors care. Back in 1993 Emergency Nurses Association adopted a resolution supporting the option to have family near the seniors bedside during invasive treatment procedures and even cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In 2000 the American Heart Association also established guidelines that encourage providers to allow family to stay with the senior during emergency cardiovascular care and CPR. Supporters of the practice known as family presence believe it benefits the senior. They maintain that it helps relieve the seniors fear and anxiety, ensures that they are treated as humans rather than conditions, and strengthen the family bonds. The practice also benefits the family members providing closure and facilitating bereavement process if the senior dies. Home Care Path LLC supports having family presnt for the senior with medical procedures.
