NURSING GOALS FOR FAMILY PLANNING2b. The structure of the William family according to the genogram provided above isexplained here. Hannah Williams and Steven Williams are married to each other for 3 yearssince 2014. Before Steven, Hannah was married to Barry but their relationship ended followedby divorce. Billy 5 years old is the only son of Hannah and Barry and shares their joint custody.Recently, Hannah gave birth to a premature girl child conceived with Steven. Barry is inrelationship with Jane and lives with Emily and Ronan, children of Jane from her previousrelationship. Hannah’s mother Marion lives with her and Hannah’s father Sam lives with his newwife Ariel in Philippines. Steven’s father, Henry died on last year, 2016. Henry was married toMavis on 1978. c. According to The Australian Family Strengths Nursing Assessment Guide (AFSNAG),the two strengths that were found in the William family were sharing activities in order tosupport each other and acceptance of the situation (Gbur, 2013). These guides help the familiesto identify and develop their subsequent strengths to bring out positive changes in familyfunctioning. These strengths were observed by the nurses by watching their behaviour or byasking questions to them. One of the strength in the William family was sharing the activities.This strength was evident from the behaviour of Steven as Hannah recently gave birth to apremature baby and she required some time to recover from the caesarean delivery. Therefore inorder to provide a healthy orientation he planned to take his family to the local golf club forlunch because that would help them to meet new people as due to commitments in work placeand moving to a new place they hardly met new friends. But he was bit concerned about thefinancial management in the coming six months as due to Hannah’s pregnancy they hired a paidmanager to look after her boutique business and thus he wanted Hannah to get back to her workas soon as possible. When Steven was asked about handling the crying baby in the morning, he

Although he planned to help her incooking after getting back home. The second strength was the acceptance of not resuming backinto their sexual relationship. He anticipated the decision of not involving into any sexualrelationship at that very moment as Hannah underwent a caesarean delivery recently. Hebelieved that they will resume back to their sexual relationship within two week and things willbe normalised. He even added up to the fact that as her wife was on leave from work, she wouldbe able to take proper rest and relaxed. This would help them to get back to their normal sexualrelationship. Part 2: Nursing Care of the Family: Planning, Implementing and EvaluatingThe two challenges or issues faced by the William family were breastfeeding andtransition to parenthood. The first issue is breastfeeding faced by both the baby and the mother.Several challenges are faced by the mother while breastfeeding (Rollins et al., 2016). The mostcommon is latching the baby properly and improper latching leads to sore nipples in mother andinsufficient milk to the baby (Holmes, 2013). Pinching pain in the nipple area if persists afterfour days implies improper latching of the baby. Another issue is the formation of tender lump inthe breast area which suggests that the duct that connects the glands producing milk to the nippleis clogged. The concerned issue in case of Hannah in this study was taking extra help tobreastfeed her baby as she underwent a caesarean delivery and needed time to recover her heal. Ittakes longer time for the milk to secrete in caesarean cases with problem in latching due toimproper position of the other (Dahl, 2015). Postoperative pain is common in this cases whichchallenges the mothers from enjoying the first few days of motherhood.
