Nurses remain at the forefront of patient care and are among the largest home care services providers. Professional nursing is assisting people during both health and disease. Nurse practitioners are expected to fill gaps in providing primary care. Family plays an important role in health and illness and family members freqently rely on health care workers to guide and support decision-making process. There is a lack of curricular and teaching models that address nursing practice with families in numerous courses and learning experiences. Increasing number of individuals receive care at home but significant proportion of these patients acquire infections during their care period. Nursing home residents frequently experience heavy and unnecessary care transitions towards the end of life.
